Trying Too Hard Lyrics by Dylan Mattioda

Jeez, Mom, Don’t Cry

2018

[Verse 1]
There's not much going on
In a house with pop-punk emo songs
Black jeans, messy hairdos
With car keys on your belt loop
Like you’re trying too hard
There's not much going on
In a head where you found you don't belong
Swallow, maybe it’ll do you right
You just might make it to bed tonight
[Chorus]
And if who've I've been was Klonopin
Who was that guy, was that Abilify?
Put me to rest with a Xanax
And if you just raised a child for starters
Maybe I wouldn't have been such a shitty daughter
Like Mom, you're trying too hard
[Verse 3]
There's not much going on
In a house with pop-punk emo songs
Out-of-tune guitars
And you're seeing stars
There's not much going on
In a town where you haven’t been for long
Lay in bed, watch The Bachelorette
Stay alive for what hasn’t happened yet
[Chorus]
And if who've I’ve been was Klonopin
Who was that guy, was that Abilify?
Put me to rest with a Xanax
And if you just raised a child for starters
Maybe I wouldn't have been such a shitty daughter
Like Mom, you're trying too hard
[Outro]
Or I'm trying too hard
I think I’m trying too hard
