Maybe I Try Too Hard

Maybe I Try Too Hard
Music and Lyrics by Jonathan Goldenthal

I asked to come and see you
And I’m glad you met me here
I’ve been stumbling
For some time
But now I’m clear
I’ve been holding on to something
That’s like holding onto sand
That keeps sifting
And falling through my hands

Maybe I try too hard
Making a big ordeal (Making it all too real)
And I know I ask too often
About the way you feel
If there is nothing I can do
To have you feel the same way too
If it’s not now, then when
Or should I even try again

Maybe my timing’s off
Maybe the world’s gone flat
Maybe it’s enough to know I love you
And leave it just at that

But if there’s nothing I can do
To have you feel the same way too
If it’s not now, then when
Or should I even try again

Maybe I try too hard
I’ve left my feelings bare
And for you this must all seem
As if I’m being a little unfair
But if there’s nothing I can do
To have you feel the same way
If it’s not now, then when
Or should I even try again

Maybe I try too hard
