LACK OF TRYING
LYRICS AND MUSIC BY ANDREW JAY MAGNUSON

THURSDAY WAS A ROUGH DAY
SEEN A SIDE I HADN’T SEEN
WHAT YOU GAVE YOU TOOK AWAY
WHAT YOU SAID YOU DIDN’T MEAN
WORDS LIKE A KNIFE RIGHT THROUGH MY SIDE
CUT ME RIGHT DOWN TO SIZE
MORE THAN JUST A BLOW TO MY PRIDE
LEFT TEARS IN MY EYES
AND YOU CAUGHT ME BY SURPRISE

YOU TURNED IT OFF JUST LIKE A LIGHT AT YOUR FRONT DOOR
I HURT IN PLACES I NEVER FELT BEFORE
TURNED IT OFF, LEFT ME CRYING
MAYBE WHAT WE HAD IS LOST
BUT IT’S JUST FROM A LACK OF TRYING

NEVER THOUGHT TOO MUCH ABOUT IT
EVERYTHING SEEMED FINE
WHEN IT BLEW IT WAS CATASTOPHIC
AND THE TIES BEGAN TO UNWIND
SHOULD HAVE GIVEN ME A SIGN

YOU TURNED IT OFF JUST LIKE A LIGHT AT YOUR FRONT DOOR
I HURT IN PLACES I NEVER FELT BEFORE
TURNED IT OFF, LEFT ME CRYING
MAYBE WHAT WE HAD IS LOST
BUT IT’S JUST FROM A LACK OF TRYING

PUNCHED HARD BELOW THE BELT
BURNED AND CHARRED IS HOW I FELT

THURSDAY WAS A ROUGH DAY
SEEN A SIDE I HADN’T SEEN
MOVING ON WITHOUT RESOLUTION
SO MUCH HARDER THAN IT SEEMS
AND YOU TORE ME AT THE SEAMS BABY

YOU TURNED IT OFF JUST LIKE A LIGHT AT YOUR FRONT DOOR
I HURT IN PLACES I NEVER FELT BEFORE
TURNED IT OFF, LEFT ME CRYING
MAYBE WHAT WE HAD IS LOST
BUT IT’S JUST FROM A LACK OF TRYING
YEAH, IT’S JUST FROM A LACK OF TRYING
OOH, IT’S JUST FROM A LACK OF TRYING
IT’S JUST FROM A LACK OF TRYING
