[Verse 1]

I've been havi

ng a hard time

 adjusting

I had the shin

iest wheels, n

ow they're rus

ting

I didn't know 

if you'd care 

if I came back

I have a lot o

f regrets abou

t that

Pulled the car

 off the road 

to the lookout

Could've follo

wed my fears a

ll the way dow

n

And maybe I do

n't quite know

 what to say

But I'm here i

n your doorway


[Chorus]
              
I just wanted 

            
you to know th

         
at this is me 

     
trying
              
I just wanted 

            
you to know th

         
at this is me 

    
trying


[Verse 2]

They told me a

ll of my cages

 were mental

So I got waste

d like all my 

potential

And my words s

hoot to kill w

hen I'm mad

I have a lot o

f regrets abou

t that
            
I was so ahead

              
 of the curve,

              
 the curve bec

        
ame a sphere
            
Fell behind al

              
l my classmate

              
s and I ended 

    
up here

Pouring out my

 heart to a st

ranger
  
But I didn't p

our the whiske

y


[Chorus]
              
I just wanted 

            
you to know th

         
at this is me 

   
trying
              
I just wanted 

            
you to know th

         
at this is me 

    
trying


[Post-Chorus]
              
At least I'm t

      
rying


[Bridge]
            
And it's hard 

             
to be at a par

          
ty when I feel

              
 like an open 

  
wound
            
It's hard to b

              
e anywhere the

              
se days when a

    
ll I want is y

ou
              
You're a flash

         
back in a film

              
 reel on the o

            
ne screen in m

     
y town


[Chorus]
              
And I just wan

            
ted you to kno

         
w that this is

          
 me trying

(And maybe I don't quite know what to say)
              
I just wanted 

            
you to know th

[Outro]
              
At least I'm t
