this is me trying Songtext
von Taylor Swift

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 on 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
(And 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
