lyrics

IN THE END( MARINO )

I tried keeping my cool
I tried playing by the rules
I tried faking a smile
It didn’t matter but was fine for a while

So why try anyway? Cuz in the end your gonna have to pay
Why Try Anyway? They’re only gonna make you play their game

You said I should play nice
You said to always think twice
You said to kill em with kindness
well I’m sorry but no thanks your highness

So why try anyway? Cuz in the end your gonna have to pay
Why Try Anyway? They're only gonna make you play their game

And I’m not sure if I wanna play
And I’m not sure if I wanna stay
Its time for me to do it my own way

I’ve been trying so hard
I’ve been playing all of my cards
I’ve been fighting the battle
but now I’m sick of being one of the cattle

So why try anyway? Cuz in the end your gonna have to pay
Why try anyway? They're only gonna make you play their game

And I’m not sure if I wanna play
And I’m not sure if I wanna stay
I’m sick of every word that you say
