Doesn't Even Try

Verse 1
He’s got that straight face, eyes like stone,
Talks in a tone like he’s reading from a throne.
Never cracks a smile, not even a twitch,
But one wrong word and I’m gone in a glitch.
It’s the way he moves, without a clue,
Like a storm rolled in wearing brand-new shoes.

Pre-Chorus
And I tell myself, “Keep it cool, don’t break,”
But he drops one line, and I can’t stay straight.

Chorus
He doesn’t even try, but I’m falling apart,
Laughing so hard it’s breaking my heart.
How does he do it? He’s stone-cold calm,
While I’m a mess in the eye of his charm.
No punchline needed, no clever disguise,
He kills me every time — doesn’t even try.

Verse 2
Serious as midnight, not a crack in the wall,
But he’s got that way of making me fall.
Every word’s a riddle, every look’s a game,
I’m caught in the joke but he won’t claim the fame.
I’m gasping for breath, he’s just sipping his tea,
Like this chaos was never his responsibility.

Pre-Chorus
And I tell myself, “Keep it cool, don’t break,”
But he tilts his head, and I can’t stay straight.

Chorus
He doesn’t even try, but I’m falling apart,
Laughing so hard it’s breaking my heart.
How does he do it? He’s stone-cold calm,
While I’m a mess in the eye of his charm.
No punchline needed, no clever disguise,
He kills me every time — doesn’t even try.

Bridge
Maybe it’s magic, maybe it’s fate,
Maybe I’m wired to take the bait.
Every serious word just spins in my head,
And turns into something he never said.

Chorus
He doesn’t even try, but I’m falling apart,
Laughing so hard it’s breaking my heart.
How does he do it? He’s stone-cold calm,
While I’m a mess in the eye of his charm.
No punchline needed, no clever disguise,
He kills me every time — doesn’t even try.

Outro
He’s not in on the joke, but he’s still the cause,
Serious as a sermon… and I just can’t stop.
