Trying Lyrics

[Chorus]
Yeah, yeah I've been trying (Trying), to work through this change
But every day, every day, this shit feel the same
I've been trying (Trying), to work through this pain
But every day, every day, it won't go away
I've been trying, so tell me, who do I call?
Now you're gone, you left me here, I got my back on the wall
I've been trying, so tell me, who do I call?
Now you're gone, you left me here and now I'm losin' control
But I've been trying

[Verse 1]
And now I'm fine, that's
What I keep on tellin' myself every night, and
I got all these problems, I can never justify them
And I know I need help but I don't ever take the time, and
I keep this shit low, low, low, I keep it on silent
You tell me it's gon' do me harm if I keep it inside, man
I won't ever know, know, know, about how they found me
Overthinking all the time, my mind always crowded

[Pre-Chorus]
Oh well, I gotta keep it movin'
Or l'll go crazy, I might just lose it
Crazy and lose my brain
Without you right here, it don't feel the same
[Chorus]
I've been trying (Trying), to work through this change
But every day, every day, this shit feel the same
I've been trying (Trying), to work through this pain
But every day, every day, it won't go away
I've been trying, so tell me, who I do call?
Now you're gone, you left me here, I got my back on the wall
I've been trying, so tell me, who I do call?
Now you're gone, you left me here and now I'm losin' control
But I've been trying

[Verse 2]
Trying, why in
The fuck do I keep pouring up? I just be wildin'
But fuck it, I don't need no drugs, I'll just be flyin'
Off this Hennessy, maybe you should try it

Lying to myself, yeah, I'm lying to myself
But I don't really care long as in I'm lying in my wealth
Like, how did I get here? No one to blame but myself
But ever since you left, I felt a change in myself, yeah

[Pre-Chorus]
Oh well, I gotta keep it movin'
Or l'll go crazy, I might just lose it
Crazy and lose my brain
Without you right here, it don't feel the same
[Chorus]
I've been trying (Trying), to work through this change
But every day, every day, this shit feel the same
I've been trying (Trying), to work through this pain
But every day, every day, it won't go away
I've been trying, so tell me, who I do call?
Now you're gone, you left me here, I got my back on the wall
I've been trying, so tell me, who I do call?
Now you're gone, you left me here and now I'm losin' control
But I've been trying
