this is me trying lyrics

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
