This is Me Trying

Ooh, ooh

Ooh

This is me trying (To make a team)

This is me trying (To make a team, to be a dream)

I've been havin' a hard time adjusting

I had the shiniest gears but now they're rusting

I didn't know if you'd care if I came back

I have a lot of regrets about the things I lack

I'm standin' in the tunnel trying to find the words

Like a songbird that nobody ever heard

I was so ahead of the curve, the curve became a sphere

Fell behind all my classmates and I ended up here

At least I'm trying to make the team

Oh, this is me trying

To make the team, to be the dream

I'm walkin' through the parking lot, going out my heart

Trying to find a way back to the very start

I've been having a hard time, baby, I'm a mess

But this is me trying, ooh, I must confess

Ooh, yeah, this is me trying, ooh

I went to your house, but you weren't home

I've been spendin' my midnights all alone

I fell off the wagon and I landed in the mud

Feelin' the pressure in my own damn blood

I'm not a hero, I'm not a king I'm just a girl trying to do the right thing

I'm standin' in the locker room lookin' at the past

Trying to find a victory that's gonna last

And it's hard to be at a party, when I feel like an open wound

'Cause this is me trying, ooh

I'm right here, ooh

At least I'm strong

'Cause this is me trying
