Strive

[Verse 1]
You said we'd never have to leave it like that
Staring at the ceiling
Hide another thing before you react
It's coming, I can feel it

[Pre-Chorus]
You took issue, you said you feel attacked
But I'm not the only one to call you on that
I tried to push you, to see if you'd bite
I just want to shake you, make you realise
I just want to shake you, make you realise

[Chorus]
I always want you to strive
It's just a messed up time
And when you're feeling low like that
I know it won't last
I will help you strive
(It's just a messed up time)
I will help you

[Verse 2]
So if you think I'm being cruеl or unkind
I promise I don't mean to
God knows therе's so much I don't seem to get right
You know that I still need you too

[Pre-Chorus]
And I still feel guilty, I wanna take it back
But maybe that's a sign we're on the right track
It's just so easy to get the balance wrong
We're not the kind of people who just play along
We're not the kind of people who just play along

[Chorus]
I always want you to strive
It's just a messed up time
But when you're feeling low like that
I know it won't last
I won't let it slip my mind

[Post-Chorus]
And if you're drifting away
I'll help you make the change
'Cause when you're feeling low like that
Oh oh it won't last
I will help you strive
(It's just a messed up time)
I will help you strive
(It's just a messed up time)
Ooh ooh
Ooh ooh
Ooh ooh
I will help you strive
(It's just a messed up time)

[Outro]
I always want you to shine
It's just a messed up time
But when you're feeling low like that
I know it won't last
(It's just a messed up time)
