Lyrics
It's nice to meet you
I don't think we've met before
Yet the same girl that almost gave up lying on the bedroom floor
It's nice to meet you
All the pain in those blue eyes
Has kinda disappeared just like the stars do when the sun rises
I've never one to cry before
Never been one to cry
At least not with an audience
I kept it all inside
But I can get hurt, I can get messy
I can be blue, counting my blessings
I'm not perfect, but fuck, I'm trying
I can work hard, I can be sexy
Still insecure like everybody
I'm not perfect, but fuck, I'm trying
You look familiar
With the makeup off your face
Just another human being trying to finally find your place
You look familiar
I know you've been a lonely one
You never quite fit in, you've always been right outside
I've never one to cry before
Never been one to cry
At least not with an audience
I kept it all inside
But I can get hurt, I can get messy
I can be blue, counting my blessings
I'm not perfect, but fuck, I'm trying
I can work hard, I can be sexy
Still insecure like everybody
I'm not perfect, but fuck, I'm trying
Trying, trying
I'm trying, trying
I'm trying, trying
Fuck, I'm trying
I'm trying, trying
I'm trying, trying
I'm trying, trying
Fuck, I'm trying
I can be wrong
And I can be jealous
But I'll be there when nobody else is
I'm not perfect
I'm not perfect
I'm not perfect, but nobody is
Oh, I can get hurt, I can get messy
I can be blue, counting my blessings
I'm not perfect, but fuck, I'm trying
I can work hard, I can be sexy
I'm insecure like everybody
I'm not perfect, but fuck, I'm trying
Trying, trying (Oh, yeah)
I'm trying, trying
I'm trying, trying (Oh)
Fuck, I'm trying
I'm trying, trying
I'm trying, trying
I'm trying, trying
Fuck, I'm trying
