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
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
[Chorus]
I just wanted you to know that this is me trying
I just wanted you to know that this is me trying
[Verse 2]
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
Pouring out my heart to a stranger
But I didn't pour the whiskey
[Chorus]
I just wanted you to know that this is me trying
I just wanted you to know that this is me trying
[Post-Chorus]
At least I'm trying
[Bridge]
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
[Chorus]
And I just wanted you to know that this is me trying
(And maybe I don't quite know what to say)
I just wanted you to know that this is me trying
[Outro]
At least I'm trying
Teško se privikavam
Imala sam najsjajnije točkove, a sad su zarđali
Nisam znala da li će ti značiti ako se vratim
Mnogo žalim zbog toga
Odvezla sam kola do osmatračnice
Umalo da odem za svojim strahovima na dno
I možda ne znam šta tačno da kažem
Ali evo me na tvom pragu
[Refren]
Samo želim da znaš da se trudim
Samo želim da znaš da se trudim
[Druga strofa]
Rekli su mi da su sve tamnice samo u mojoj glavi
Pa sam protraćila alkohol kao i sve prilike
A moje reči pucaju pravo u srce kad sam ljuta
Mnogo žalim zbog toga
Bila sam toliko u prednosti da sam opet stigla na početak
Zaostala za celim razredom i završila ovde
Ispovedam se strancu
Ali ne pijem viski
[Refren]
Samo želim da znaš da se trudim
Samo želim da znaš da se trudim
Bar se trudim
[Treća strofa]
I teško je biti na žurki kad se osećam kao otvorena rana
Teško je biti bilo gde ovih dana kad samo želim tebe
Ti si retrospekcija na video-kaseti u jedinom bioskopu u mom gradu
[Refren]
A samo sam želela da znaš da se trudim
(I možda ne znam šta tačno da kažem)
Samo sam želela da znaš da se trudim
Bar se trudim
