I've been counting ways to tell you That this isn't working out in my head "Is there a problem? You can tell me." she said But despite my best intentions What would I say to you now? With all the "I'm sorry"s that come out your mouth You've promised me a good time in your town But I'm not driving that distance just to turn around
So maybe you should try harder To begin to try trying less I swear I'm not this hard to impress
You're way too funny to give me much less I'll chalk it up to inexperience But still you've kept your mouth shut The cats got your tongue In a fit of apprehension
I wish I had the courage to say this to your face You'll forgive me one day But this song will outlive us both anyway, any day
So maybe you should try harder To begin to try trying less I swear I'm not this hard to impress
So take this song home with you Cause I'll never see it for myself You can introduce it to your parents Or frame it on your shelf
