[Verse1]
I feel like I'm half complete
Trying to find my place in the sun and I run and I run and I run but I can't compete
My friends say I'm fine but I'm fraying at the seams
And I just can't sleep
My nightmares I keep through the day and they won't go away
And I taste defeat
[Pre-Chorus]
Obsessed restless mind
I wish I knew the right way to fill out my time
But I let the alcohol flow and I put on a show but you know
[Chorus]
I'm trying, so hard
I'm trying, so hard
I'm trying, so hard
I'm trying, so...
[Verse2]
As the morning begins
I begin to pack my things
I get my knickers in a twist and I wish and I wish for a short back and sides and a shirt and a tie
So I can fit in
Put some wind in my sails but I just can't breathe
To young to feel this old and old enough to know the weight I'm carrying
[Pre-Chorus]
Obsessed restless mind
I wish I knew the right way to fill out my time
But I let the alcohol flow and I put on a show but you know
[Chorus]
I'm trying, so hard
I'm trying, so hard
I'm trying, so hard
I'm trying, so...
[Verse3]
Nothing else left to do
Retreat into a fighting stance and I dance and I dance and I dance in these dead girls shoes
I can feel these troubled soles pulling me to the floor
And they just want more
With so much to lose
Hope went and died
A hearse by his side
2 gold coins in his eyes
[Pre-Chorus]
Obsessed restless mind
I wish I knew the right way to fill out my time
But I let the alcohol flow and I put on a show but you know
[Chorus]
I'm trying, so hard
I'm trying, so hard
I'm trying, so hard
I'm trying, so...
[Bridge]
I'm trying, I'm trying, I'm trying, I'm trying so hard
I'm trying, I'm trying, I'm trying so...
[x7]
[Outro]
I'm trying so hard
I'm trying so hard
I'm trying so...
I'm trying so hard
I'm trying...
