lyrics

if i borrowed your makeup
would it cover up the fact that i'm still terrified to look you in the eyes
promise me you won't laugh unless you think i'm funny
i am a fool
you wouldn't even recognize me
i love when the paint chips from your nails
i mostly keep my hands to myself
trouble knowing me in the face of adversity
i keep it cool
as cool as i can be

i'm trying
i'm trying
i'm trying
i'm trying

i played it out in my head
all the stupid things i said
i only recognize myself
cause i'm not whatever else
and i'm a mess
and that's too bad
i think that you know that best
i'm sorry that i spelled your name wrong
once again i lose my voice

i'm trying x4
