[Intro]
 
 


[Verse 1]

  I've been ha

ving a hard ti

me adjusting

     I had the

 shiniest whee

ls, now they'r

e rusting

  I didn't kno

w if you'd car

e if I came ba

ck

     I have a 

lot of regrets

 about that
          
    Pulled the

              
 car off the r

              
oad to the loo

     
kout,     coul

d've followed 

my fears all t

he way down

   And maybe I

 don't quite k

now what to sa

y, but I'm her

e in your door

way


[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

              
 all of my cag

              
es were mental

 
,     so I got

 wasted, like 

all my potenti

al

  And my words

 shoot to kill

 when I'm mad

     I have a 

lot of regrets

 about that
          
I   was so ahe

              
ad of the curv

              
e, the curve b

        
ecame a sphere
              
Fell behind al

              
l my classmate

              
s and I ended 

   
up here, pouri

ng out my hear

t to a strange

r,
but I didn't pour the whiskey


[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 flashback in a film reel on the one screen in my town


[Chorus]
              
And I just wan

          
ted you to kno

       
w that this is

 me trying

  (And maybe I

 don't quite k

now what to sa

y)
              
I just wanted 

          
you to know th

         
at this is me 

      
trying


[Outro]
             
At least I'm t
