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
Pulled 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 you to know
That this is me trying
I just wanted you to 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 mad
I have a lot of regrets
about that
I was so ahead of the curve,
the curve became a sphere
Fell behind all my classmates
and I ended up here
Pourin' out my heart
to a stranger
But I didn't pour the whiskey
I just wanted you to know
That this is me trying
I just wanted you to 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 you to know
That this is me trying
(Maybe I don't quite know
what to say)
I just wanted you to know
That this is me trying
At least I'm trying
