Текст песни I’m Trying (Not Friends) - Maisie Peters

London 2020
Boy and a girl broke up, yeah, it′s two a penny
And I been tryna make a big step forward
Saw you, it was awkward
Nothing like I thought would happen happened
I was so in love, and that don't come off in the wash
Kinda hope it does, oh
′Cause you're seeing someone pretty and I hate her guts
So I'll be telling you she′s nice on the bus home
We were bad but we′re gonna be good
It didn't work like I thought it would
And I resent you just a little if I′m honest
But one of us has gotta try to keep a promise
And I swore that I'd swallow my pride
And you swore you would do better this time
Well I might be bitter and twisted and broken and petty and lying
But at least I′m trying
At least I'm trying
At least I′m trying
Three shots, lemon drops
One for being lost and alone in your early twenties
One for being obsessed with someone who puts you secondary
One for calling guys with guitars in a cemetery
Just me? Okay
If I'm being frank, I want a sorry but I'll settle for a handshake
′Cause I′m the baby but I'm gonna be the bigger man, babe
So many blank slates I could build a whole fucking house
We were bad but we′re gonna be good
It didn't work like I thought it would
And I resent you just a little if I′m honest
But one of us has gotta try to keep a promise
And I swore that I'd swallow my pride
And you swore you would do better this time
Well I might be bitter and twisted and broken and petty and lying
But at least I′m trying
At least I'm trying
Not friends
No, we're somewhere in between
′Cause you′re awful and I miss you
And I killed you in my dream last night
Even then you didn't care
It′s a low when even in my dreams you still don't want me there
Got friends, got at least a healthy five
Yeah, some people think I′m funny, baby, don't look so surprised
We think that your girlfriend is a bore
But we′re nice to her in public 'cause we're grown up and mature
Not friends
′Cause when I asked you on the train why you hurt me
And you couldn′t really actually explain
I cried, then I told you it was cool
God, you haven't changed at all
We were bad but we′re gonna be good
It didn't work like I thought it would
And I resent you just a little if I′m honest
But one of us has gotta try to keep a promise
And I swore that I'd swallow my pride
And you swore you would do better this time
Well I might be bitter and twisted and broken and petty and lying
And you might be awful like all of the time
Yeah, it′s almost inspiring
But at least I'm trying
At least I'm trying
At least I′m trying
