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
Pouring 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
I just wanted you to
Know that this is me
Trying
At least I\'m trying
