No Matter How Hard I Try

Sinead O'Connor · She Who Dwells [2003]

No matter how hard I try

I can make you recognize me

You can wait and see my face

Though I shout down the place



No matter how hard I cry

You aren't able to try

And your like a broken door

I can cry forever more.



No matter how hard I try

I can make like I don't care that Art Madridge died

No matter how hard I try



My friends say to me

Darling don't be so unhappy

You just need to know your lovely

But it's not that easy

Well you can't love me

How can I believe I'm lovely

Or not how to begin

I can just take it on the Chan



You don't forgive anything.

You forget everything.

What about the joy I bring?

No matter how hard I try

You can make like I didn't give birth to your child.



All I want to see is you and me raise our baby

It is much peace and harmony

My man loves me so

And you can't make me make him go

And you don't want me anyway

So it's too late to say

your jealousy

It can be nothing to me

And one thing I learned

I deserve to be loved not burned



No matter how hard I try

You can make like I'm not a good mother to our child

Our child
