Tryin’ To Be Me

Lyrics

Back seat of a Nova Footprints on the window Sippin' on Boonsfarm Wonderin' how far to go 30 minutes later Not quite so naive First scar in the battle Of tryin' to be me (Chorus) Well I took a lot of wrong turns I ran into some dead ends I let some good people down I found out who were my real friends I don't know why it took so long To learn to love me for who I am I tried to be everybody else But the hardest thing in the world it seems Is tryin' to be me Plates breaking in the kitchen Back to sleeping on the couch Seven years in the trenches Ain't no easy way out Forever wasn't quite as long As I thought it would be Another scar in the battle Of tryin' to be me (Chorus) Well I took a lot of wrong turns I ran into some dead ends I let some good people down I found out who were my real friends I don't know why it took so long To learn to love me for who I am I tried to be everybody else But the hardest thing in the world it seems Is tryin' to be me You can love what you have 'Til you've lost what you got You can know who you are Do you know who you're not? (Chorus) Well I took a lot of wrong turns I ran into some dead ends I let some good people down I found out who were my real friends I don't know why it took so long To learn to love me for who I am I tried to be everybody else But the hardest thing in the world it seems Is tryin' to be me Oh I'm just tryin' to be me
