DON’T YOU SEE ME TRYING? Lyrics by Erin LeCount

(Everything that I love will destroy me in the end so
I break my own heart over and over again)
Deep breath, exhale
This is how it always ends
My heart giving out
Dinner party full of friends
New loves, old beds
I’ve been seeing ghosts again
“All good, no thanks”
Hunger in the growing pains
How do I know
How to make this stop?
When the world keeps spinning
And I want to get off?
Whatever I seem,
I was never as tough
I was never as clean
As you think that I was
I, hide in plain sight
I’m gonna dance ’til my death
And God, it feels nice
To be this reckless again
I’m not myself,
I haven’t been in some time
But don’t you see me trying?
Don’t you see me trying?
New fame, body ache
I feel like a child again
Hungry for attention
Looking for it in the wrong place
Growing pains, growing wings
Right between my shoulder blades
Glass hips shatter
Under plastic skin, oh
How do I know
When enough is enough?
Did I take it too far?
Concern looks like love
The going gets good
Then I *** things up
I just stay right here
And I never grow up
I, hide in plain sight
I’m gonna dance ’til my death
And God, it feels nice
To be this careless again,
I’m not myself,
I haven’t been in some time
But don’t you see me trying?
Don’t you see me?
I, hide in plain sight
I’m going back to the wreck
And God, it feels nice
In ways I don’t understand
One more time,
And then I swear I’ll be fine
But don’t you see me trying,
Don’t you see me trying?
Don’t you see me trying?
Don’t you see me?
Don’t you see me trying?
Everything that I love will destroy me in the end
So I break my own heart over and over again
Everything that I love will destroy me in the end
So I break my own heart over and over again
Everything that I love will destroy me in the end
So I break my own heart over and over again
Everything that I love will destroy me in the end
So I break my own heart over and over again
I, hide in plain sight
I’m gonna dance ’til my death
And God, it feels nice
To be this reckless again
I’m not myself,
I haven’t been in some time
But don’t you see me trying?
Don’t you see me trying?
