Why Should We Try Anymore
Hank Williams
Become A Better Singer In Only 30 Days, With Easy Video Lessons!
What's the use to deny we've been livin' a lie That we should have admitted before We were just victims of a half hearted love So why should we try anymore? The vows that we make are only to break We drift like a wave from the shore The kisses we steal we know are not real So why should we try anymore? The dreams that we knew can never come true They're gone to return no more False love like ours fades with the flowers So why should we try anymore? Our story's so old, again has been told On the past let's close the door And smile, don't regret but live then forget There's no use to try anymore
