"Don't Try" came into my head out of nowhere so being it's FAWM-time, I jot everything down! I guess it could be a longer title, but for now I'm going with the initial inspiration of those two words.
DON’T TRY
You had the passion
But none of the action
What a great big fraud
And now I’ve caught on
I’m not always correct
Tried my best to connect
Some things don’t last long
Why would I hang on
[ch]
Don’t try to smile out of it
You know you are wrong
Guilt lies upon a face
When the color is gone
Don’t try to wiggle out of it
The silence speaks for you
Strange to see you on your heels
Not knowing what to do
I wish you’d admit
You don’t know how to commit
You like to persuade
Attract and betray
You weren’t that special
You’re more of a pest now
Leave me let me go
I’d rather play solo
[ch]
Don’t try to smile out of it
You know you are wrong
Guilt lies upon a face
When the color is gone
Don’t try to wiggle out of it
The silence speaks for you
Strange to see you on your heels
Not knowing what to do
[br]
There’s a certain satisfaction
Seeing you in a corner
Squirm a little longer baby
This is my call to order
Repeat ch

This is a wonderfully rhythmic lyric, and I'm surprised that no one has found it and asked for a collab ! I can't help as I am a lyricist also.

This is a great set of lyrics, they flow very nicely and feel quite rhythmic. You're not pulling any punches here, it's a great "taking back the power" song.

The bridge is my favorite part. The story teller taking control of the situation. Oh yeah...
