Trying too Hard Lyrics by Anna McClellan

I Saw First Light

2020

Thought that maybe I'd be different
Thought that maybe I should just stop caring
'Cause something inside me's running
Like a train 'bout to go off the rails

Always wanted to be different
Never satisfied with where I'm at
Turns out I needed more attention
But I was too young to realize that

I think I'm trying too hard
I think I'm trying too hard
I think I'm trying too hard
And I think it's wearing me down
I think I'm trying too hard
I think I'm trying too hard
I think I'm trying too hard
And I think it's wearing me down

What does it mean to get good rest and
What does it mean to be a people person?
I'm trying extra just to be myself
Thе verdict's out on if it's really working

What does it mеan to be
What does it mean to be
What does it mean to be a stable person?
What does it mean to be
What does it mean to be
What does it mean to be a stable person?

I think I'm trying too hard
I think I'm trying too hard
I think I'm trying too hard
Why can't I just let myself be?

Why do I try so hard?
Why do I try so hard?
Why do I try so hard?
Well, it's linked to fear and anxiety

I'm sick of trying so hard
I'm sick of trying so hard
I'm sick of trying so hard
Now it's time to just fucking stop

What am I running away from?
Or am I running right to it, babe?
What am I running away from?
Or am I running right at it, babe?

Can I close my eyes now?
Can I close my eyes now?
Can I close my eyes now and don't have to worry 'bout nothing?
Can I close my eyes now?
Can I close my eyes now?
Can I close my eyes now and don't have to worry 'bout nothing?
Can I close my eyes now?
Can I close my eyes now?
Can I close my eyes now and don't have to worry 'bout nothing?
