Tim Gerard - Don't Have to Try

You can wear that pretty dress

Put that lipstick on

However you change, don’t have to prove you’re the one

Be the rebel that you are

Running free and wild

Spin that old record, sing those songs like a child


Now you don’t have to tell the sun when to rise

You don’t have to tell the stars how to shine

You don’t have to say, I love you so

I know by the look in your eyes

You don’t have to try

You don’t have to try


I could read you my rights

Confess all my wrongs

I could tell you my secrets and all the stupid things I’ve done

Could send you all the red roses and jewels by the ton

but you’ll whisper in my ear

say we’ve got more than enough


Now you don’t have to tell the world how to spin

You don’t have to say how it ends or begins

You don’t have to say, I love you so

I know by the look your eyes

You don’t have to try

You don’t have to try

You don’t have to try

You don’t have to try


We could promise each other

We’ll always be true

There ain’t no promise

I won’t break for you


Sometimes I’m a fool

Sometimes I think too much

But when I hear you laugh it gets me out of the rut

I know you’ve carried the hurt

Love’s been and gone

but all I’ve ever seen is a woman so strong


Now you don’t have to tell the sun when to rise

You don’t have to tell the days from the nights

You don’t have to say, I love you so

I know by the look in your eyes

like the moon loves the tide

You don’t have to try

You don’t have to try

You don’t have to try

You don’t have to try
