this is me trying
I've been having a hard time adjusting
I had the shiniest wheels, now they're rusting
I didn't know if you'd care if I came back
I have a lot of regrets about that
Pull the car off the road to the lookout
Could've followed my fears all the way down
And maybe I don't quite know what to say
But I'm here in your doorway
I just wanted to you know that this is me trying
I just wanted to you know that this is me trying
They told me all of my cages were mental
So I got wasted like all my potential
And my words shoot to kill when I'm bad
I have a lot of regrets about that
I was so ahead of the curve
That the curve became a sphere
I fell behind my classmates until I ended up here
Pouring out my heart to a stranger
But I didn't pour the whiskey
I just wanted to you know that this is me trying
I just wanted to you know that this is me trying
At least I'm trying...
And it's hard to be at a party when I feel like an open wound
It's hard to be anywhere these days when all I want is you
You're a flashback in a film reel on the one screen in my town
And I just wanted to you know that this is me trying
I just wanted to you know that this is me trying
At least I'm trying
