Don't Try

(extended instrumental of synth / pad, volume gradually increasing)

Intro / Verse 1

Why do the stars shine so bright tonight?

Are they laughing while we lose the fight?

The air feels hollow, yet it weighs me down

An empty silence I don’t wanna drown

Pre-Chorus

The Milky Way moves in its own time

Spinning forever, crossing every line

Constellations feel so unreachable

But nothing’s colder than your indecisive soul

Chorus

Whoa—hold me, please don’t let me go

One minute more, just let me know

If you release me, don’t—please don’t try

I’m losing hope in what I believed inside

Instrumental (Melancholy synth / pads)

Verse 2

Why do the stars shine so bright tonight?

Are they mocking everything we hide?

The air feels empty but it cuts so deep

An open void I’m scared to keep

Chorus (Repeat)

Whoa—hold me, please don’t let me go

One minute more, just let me know

If you release me, don’t—please don’t try

I’m losing hope in what I believed inside

Instrumental (extended Melancholy synth / pads)

Chorus (Repeat)

Whoa—hold me, please don’t let me go

One minute more, just let me know

If you release me, don’t—please don’t try

I’m losing faith in what I believed inside
