You Don't Even Have To Try

(album: The Body Never Lies - 2022)

I watch you watch the world
I watch you trapping the hurt
I watch you drive running all the red lights
With a look in your eyes, it's a thirst

Tell me, is it just the way you're wired
Heart of ice and a tongue of fire
Anything you want in the palm of your hands, ooh

You don't even have to try I, I
I lay my hungry eyes, on yours
To you, I'd never lie I, I
Your voice could shatter hearts, start a war, settle scores
You don't even have to try

You don't even have to try
You don't even have to try

I followed you to the stars
Peeled through the layers of your guard
I bit my tongue just to keep you around
'Cause devotion can see through the dark

Tell me, is it just the way we're tethered
Someone in between the pain and pleasure
Had me on my knees so effortlessly, ooh woah

You don't even have to try I, I
I lay my hungry eyes, on yours
To you, I'd never lie I, I
Your voice could shatter hearts, start a war, settle scores
You don't even have to try

You don't even have to try
You don't even have to try

I didn't even have to try
To want you, to hate you, to miss you
I didn't even have to try
To throw you away
I didn't even have to try
To need you, to break you
To rearrange and create you

I didn't even have to try
To want you, to hate you, to miss you
I didn't even have to try
To always replace what you gave
I didn't even have to try
I didn't even have to try
I didn't even have to try

(You don't even have to try)
(You don't even have to try)
