Effortless Lyrics - Singles - Allison Crowe

Effortless 

Words & Music by Allison Crowe 

As performed by Allison Crowe 

I'm trying not to try so hard, 

Makes me wonder if it's really effortless, 

Or if I'm fooling myself? 

'Cause if I have to put so much of me 

Into trying not to care, 

Where am I then? 

I'm lying. 

And do you see the way I walk away? 

I never really know what I should say, 

So it comes out wrong, 

If it comes out at all. 

So I straighten myself out, 

I bring me back down, 

"Don't be ridiculous, 

You are so wrong." 

But then I'm drifting, 

On a wave of thought. 

I get lost in the tides, 

And I can barely recognize myself. 

I don't mind, 

'Cause do you see the way I walk away? 

I never really know what I should say, 

So it comes out wrong, 

If it comes out at all. 

So I try to act the way I would 

If I was someone that wasn't me. 

But you wipe that away, don't you? 

And I am falling down, 

I am tripping on words, 

I am out of my mind. 

You know, this is not like me. 

I'm not usually happy, I swear. 

And do you see the way I walk away? 

I never really know what I should say 

So it comes out wrong. 

And I turn my back 

And I don't look back. 

I am unafraid... 

...but really I'm just kidding. 

I'm terrified, 

And I think I like it. 

And I don't care if I look ridiculous, 

Trying to be effortless.
