Taylor Swift This is Me Trying

[Verse 1]

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
