  • (I know you're trying)

    Everything and nothing always haunts me
    I know you're trying, I know you're trying
    Waiting for your moment to fall on me
    I saw you trying, I saw you trying

    Maybe if you let me be your lover
    Maybe if you tried, then I would not bother
    Telling me that basically you're not looking out for me
    Everything is true to me, never words where you would see
    Maybe if you let me be your lover
    Maybe if you tried, then I would not bother

    (I know you're trying)
    (I know you're trying)

    Hurts so bad, I don't know what you want from me
    You know I'm trying, you know I'm trying
    And now we're hanging on by a heartbeat
    You know I'm trying, I was always trying

    Maybe if you let me be your lover
    Maybe if you tried, then I would not bother
    Telling me that basically you're not looking out for me
    Everything is true to me, never words where you would see

    Maybe if you let me be your lover
    Maybe if you tried, then I would not bother
    I've been hating everything, everything that could have been
    Could have been my anything, now everything's embarrassing

    Acting like it's nothing, such a bore
    I saw the truth and I just can't ignore
    You're trying to hold the heart that you once tore, oh
    Say I tried to give my best before
    You wouldn't have the chance to give me more
    You're only one step closer to the door

    Maybe if you let me be your lover
    Maybe if you tried, then I would not bother
    Telling me that basically you're not looking out for me
    Everything is true to me, never words where you would see

    Maybe if you let me be your lover
    Maybe if you tried, then I would not bother
    I've been hating everything, everything that could have been
    Could have been my anything, now everything's embarrassing

    Maybe if you let me be your lover
    Maybe if you tried, then I would not bother
    Telling me that basically you're not looking out for me
    Everything is true to me, never words where you would see

    Maybe if you let me be your lover
    Maybe if you tried, then I would not bother
    I've been hating everything, everything that could have been
    Could have been my anything, now everything's embarrassing Writer/s: Ariel Zvi Rechtshaid, Devonte Hynes, Sky Ferreira
