I Promise I'm Trying

[Verse 1]

I'm not really sure if my words make sense to you

But I can't really find

Any other way to form these feelings into cubes

And sort them in my mind

The negative thoughts go on the left

And the happy things on the right

And there's a little corner saved just for you

[Pre-Chorus]

Please let me know if you change your mind

'Cause inside I'm falling

And I need you to pull me out of this decline

I realise how hard on you this must seem

But trust me when I say

It's far, far worse for me

[Chorus]

Please, please be here for me, dear

'Cause I've never needed a friend more

And I can't stress enough how much it means to me that you're trying

And I don't mind if you can't hold me like you used to

'Cause I've never hated myself more

But this is just a bump in the road and I promise I'm trying

[Verse 2]

Give me a moment to get my cards in line

'Cause I'm still trying to figure out

In what kind of order should I set 'em out

If there was a way to explain everything without a word

I'd have a full house right now without a doubt

[Pre-Chorus]

I'm trying to tear the wool from your eyes

But a part of me wants to let you be

'Cause then you wouldn't see what I've become

I'm trying to shout but no sound comes out

It's like we're in a dream state

But I should've woken up, woken up by now

[Chorus]

Please, please be here for me, dear

'Cause I've never needed a friend more

And I can't stress enough how much it means to me that you're trying

And I don't mind if you can't hold me like you used to

'Cause I've never hated myself more

But this is just a bump in the road and I promise I'm trying
