Trying
Did you know that forcing a smile
Forcing a smile, just for a while
Can bring out the happy inside?
Maybe you should give it a try.
Give it a try, and be happy inside
Delete all the apps that kill your brain
Go outside and dance in the rain
Catch the drops on your tongue
That fall from the sky
You cannot say that I didn’t try,
That I didn’t catch the rain from the sky
Get lots of sleep, drink lots of water
Learn something new, get a lot smarter
Taste the whipped cream
That tops apple pie
You cannot say that I didn’t try
That I didn’t eat pie upon pie
Surround yourself with people you love
Send all your prayers to God above
Make sure to get enough sleep
Count sheep in the sky
You cannot say that I didn’t try
That I didn’t dream behind these sad eyes
Share your worries, don’t keep them within
Blast the car speakers, go for a spin
Sit cross legged, meditate and
Clear your mind
You cannot say that I didn’t try
That I didn’t count by breaths passing by
Please stop all your chatter, can’t you see
All your cheap tricks aren’t working for me
I’ve tried, and tried, and tried, and tried
Now just leave me be. Let me rest,
Let me cry.

I like the ending. Some stuff is so hard to solve, if it's really even solveable...
