If I Didn’t Try

From the CD currently playing—Oblivion, the best album by Todd Rundgren’s great pop-metal band Utopia—these are the lyrics to “If I Didn’t Try.” Just seemed appropriate, somehow:
If I didn’t try, how would I know, how would I know
If I didn’t try, how would I know, how would I know
Sometimes I think I must be crazy for doing this
(Think I’m never gonna win)
But how would I know it’s a losing cause
If I didn’t try, if I didn’t try
If I didn’t try, if I didn’t try
If I didn’t care, nothing would hurt, nothing would hurt
If I didn’t care, hope for the best, expect the worst
Sometimes it feels like my whole life has been leading to this
(Wish that I could hide somewhere)
But how would I know how it feels to live
If I didn’t care, if I didn’t care
If I didn’t care, if I didn’t care
Sometimes I think I must be crazy for doing this
(You can never run away)
But how would I know it’s a losing cause
If I didn’t try, if I didn’t try
If I didn’t try, if I didn’t try
