Trying Lyrics – Ali Gatie

[Chorus]
I’m Trying
Can you see that I’m trying?
Left me out there cryin’ on my own
I was dying all alone
But I’m still trying
Can you see that I’m trying?
Tryna be a better version of me for you
I don’t know what I still see in you
But I’m still Trying

[Verse]
Tryna get over you is like losin’ addiction
I found out I was addicted to you the day you went missing
Even if I had prescription to help, I still wouldn’t listen
I’d go and make that decision to keep on missing and missing
That cycle starts gettin’ vicious when you start losing your hope
Get sick of praying and wishing that that’s the end of the road
The pain it lingers and lingers, unless you choose to let go
But letting go is the hardest when they have half of your soul
