Alexander Stewart
​​I’m trying
[Verse 1]
It's been a week, and I can't tell you a thing I did
I can't sleep, all my friends they're worried again

[Pre-Chorus]
It's a cycle I won't outgrow
I'm the punchline of some sick joke
I can't bring myself to leave home
But I'm terrified to be alone

[Chorus]
I say that I'm fine, but it feels like I'm dying
Why do the words in my head get so violent?
Half of the time I'm just barely surviving
But I'm trying, I'm trying

[Verse 2]
No surprise, that I'm not one for resolutions
Even in the best times, I'm too scared to smell the roses

[Pre-Chorus]
It's a cycle I won't outgrow
I'm the punchline of some sick joke
I can't bring myself to leave home
But I'm terrified to be alone
[Chorus]
I say that I'm fine, but it feels like I'm dying
Why do the words in my head get so violent?
Half of the time I'm just barely surviving
But I'm trying, I’m trying

[Post-Chorus]
Tryna be everything to everybody
I feel so much that I almost feel nothing
Half of the time I'm just barely surviving
But I'm trying, I'm trying

[Outro]
I'm trying, I'm trying, oh
Yeah, I'm trying, I'm trying
I'm trying, I'm trying
Yeah, I'm trying, I'm trying
