about

An intimate interpretation of Bitchin' Hour's hard-hitting track 'Why Try'; Bitchin' Hour's vocalist, Leonie Wilson, and bassist, Lara Mason, come together to perform this alternative version of a song that deals with the inner struggles we endure due to our mental health. Wilson says of the track: "'Why Try' is about the battle between myself and the voice I hear in my head, how she controls my thoughts to twist and change things so that I am unable to take back control."

lyrics

Lost again
No surprises there
Another point for you on the leader board
How am I
Supposed to win
When all you do is bend and break the rules

Oh the puzzle keeps on changing
Don't make me lose again
Can't have another link added to my chain

Oh why
Tell me why
You keep me locked up away
Suffering all of this heartache
Oh why
Tell me why
Every time I try, it always ends in heartbreak
Oh, oh why

You're on top again
How can that be fair
Who gave the keys and let you fuck with my life
Don't want to let you in
And yet you're always near
I know you think you help but that don't make it right

Oh the puzzle keeps on changing
Don't make me lose again
Can't have another needle in my brain

Oh why
Tell me why
You keep me locked up away
Suffering all of this heartache
Oh why
Tell me why
Every time I try it always ends in heartbreak
Oh, oh why

Don't tell me to stay calm
Don't say you're in charge
Don't promise you'll be quiet soon
I know that that's a lie
And you won't do it right
I know you think you help but that don't make it true

Oh why
Tell me why
You keep me locked up away
Suffering all of this heartache
Oh why
Tell me why
Every time I try it always ends in,
Always ends in
Oh, oh why
Oh, why
