Lyrics

Trying

[Verse 1]

Seven months in hiding

Buried in the sand

I lost my way, come find me

[Refrain]

Tonight

You're not even tryin'

Tonight

You're not even tryin'

[Verse 2]

Constantly reminded

That I was just in time

Don't run away like I did

[Refrain]

And tonight

You're not even tryin'

Tonight

You're not even tryin'

[Instrumental Break]

[Refrain]

Tonight

You're not even tryin'

Tonight

You're not even tryin'
