This track was recorded in a lake house with friends

lyrics

I’m trying my best to be honest.
I’m trying my best to be clear.
I’m trying my best to tell you you’re a liar,
and to make you somehow give a damn.

I’m trying my best to be patient.
I’m trying my best to know the demons you’ve fought.
I’m trying my best to be understanding,
but after what you said that’s gonna be hard.

I’m trying my best to be sincere.
I’m trying my best to show you I care.
I’m trying my best to know the pain you feel,
flows the same way as I bleed.

WHOA!

(I AM TRYING MY BEST!)
Maybe one day I’ll be honest.
Maybe one day I’ll know one thing.
Maybe one day I’ll be humble,
and give something back before it takes all of me.

I’m trying my best to tell you I’m weak.
I’m trying my best to tell you I lie a lot.
I’m trying my best to tell you I don’t care,
but I’m the only one who’ll ever know that.

I’m trying my best.
I’m not trying at all.
