"I'm Not Trying" lyrics

"I'm Not Trying"

I'm not trying to cry
Not trying to die for you
That's the truth
Look me dead in the eyes
And I wouldn't lie to you
That's the truth
I'm not trying to cry
Not trying to die for you
That's the truth
Look me dead in the eyes
And I wouldn't lie to you
That's the truth

Let it sink in
Let the feeling win (The feeling win)

Should've stopped and read the signs
But instead I closed my eyes
We were crashing in slow motion
Couldn't stop it if I tried
Like an itch that won't subside
Or a knot that can't be tied
Had to fuck you out my system
Just to get you off my mind

I'm not trying to cry
Not trying to die for you
That's the truth
Look me dead in the eyes
And I wouldn't lie to you
That's the truth
I'm not trying to cry
Not trying to die for you
That's the truth
Look me dead in the eyes
And I wouldn't lie to you
That's the truth

Let it sink in
Let the feeling win (The feeling win)

Hurting
You think that it's worth it
We should want it easy
Still you tell me stop
(Take it back, take it back, take it back)
But our way
Makes all this go sideways
But it keeps us breathing
Don't ask me, I won't
(Take it back, take it back, take it back)

I'm not trying to cry
Not trying to die for you
That's the truth
Look me dead in the eyes
And I wouldn't lie to you
That's the truth
I'm not trying to cry
Not trying to die for you
That's the truth
Look me dead in the eyes
And I wouldn't lie to you
That's the truth
