"Pokušaj" (Try), is a song by the Bosnian singer Elvir Laković Laka. "Pokušaj" is an alternative rock-style song and was composed and written by Laka, who is a popular alternative rock singer from Bosnia and Herzegovina.
He was internally selected by the Bosnian National broadcaster BHT to represent Bosnia and Herzegovina in the Eurovision Song Contest 2008 in Belgrade, Serbia. Laka was chosen among many other entries to represent Bosnia and, therefore, the Bosnian version represented Bosnia and Herzegovina in the 2008 Eurovision Song Contest in Belgrade. On 20 May 2008, the song competed in the first semi-final of Eurovision, and won a place in the final on 24 May, where it was the 6th song performed out of 25. The song finished 10th out of 25, receiving 110 points. Laka performed the song with his younger sister Mirela along with four backing singers dressed as brides.
The song was succeeded as Bosnian representative at the 2009 contest by Regina with "Bistra voda".
I know I do some things that make you so confused
One minute I'm so in love and the next I can't stand you
But if u may ask it's just the things that you do
that reminds me of all of the mess that I've been through
I got this baggage with me
Don't wana make you pay for what somebody else has done to me
I don't know what to do
With all this baggage in me
Everytime I hurt your feelings it's what someones done to me
I don't mean to hurt you
Heartache and pain I just can't do it again
So I look for the worst and brace myself for the hurt
But nobody has ever treated me this way
Please be patient with me coz I want you to stay but I got all
This baggage with me
Don't wana make you pay for what somebody else has done to me
I don't know what to do
With all this baggage in me
Everytime I hurt your feelings it's what someone's done to me
I don't mean to hurt you
It's no way to be livin' my life
But I can't get it out of my mind
You know I love you yes I do
So don't, don't we get it confused
Don't be confused coz boy u know I realy do love you
Want you to stay wit me I never ment to hurt you baby
It won't be easy gettin rid of all this baggage baby
I got all of this baggage with me
Don't wana make you pay for what somebody else has done to me
I don't know what to do
With all this baggage in me
Everytime I hurt your feelings
It's what someone's done to me
