I Tried My Best Lyrics by Skye Matteson

Senior Year

2024

[Verse]
I can't wait
To see I-75 in my rearview mirror
Even if that sounds harsh
A sign from the universe has never been clearer
I been counting down days since March
Fresh Texas eyes loved this town
Seven years later I'm done and out
I'm not proud of my hometown
Just about everyone here's broke my heart
Boys to best friends, even grown men
And I love my parents but I need a fresh start
[Chorus]
I wanna run so far away
I'm tired of people knowing my name
Everyone in this town thinks the same
Politics and college
"How will you live on lyrics?"
And I won't miss a single one of you
I never had real friends, spent high school in my bedroom
I love my independence
Got so comfortable with rejection
Wasn't born for the midwest
At least I can say I tried my best
[Verse]
There's no where to go but south
Rock bottom's up north
I been low far too long
So I'm leaving on my high horse
And I'm coming to terms
I've lived and learned
And saved every penny that I've earned
It won't be all for nothing
Got a broke down Jeep and a little bit of money
And some real big dreams, but hey that's something
I swear that press is gonna be buzzing
Don't know how but I'm jump then falling
I swear it won't be all for nothing
[Chorus]
I wanna run so far away
I'm tired of people knowing my name
Everyone in this town thinks the same
Politics and college
"How will you live on lyrics?"
And I won't miss a single one of you
I never had real friends, spent high school in my bedroom
I love my independence
Got so comfortable with rejection
Wasn't born for the midwest
At least I can say I tried my best
[Bridge]
You can't heal in the place you lost yourself
Been growing sideways
Tennessee's talking, it misses me
Doing it my way
I'll send a postcard, truck's packed up in the driveway
I'm hitting the highway
[Chorus]
And I'm gonna run so far away
I'm tired of people knowing my name
Everyone in this town thinks the same
Politics and college
"You'll never live on lyrics"
And I won't miss a single one of you
And please don't pretend that you'll miss me too
I love my independence
Got so comfortable with rejection
Breaking up with the midwest
At least I'm leaving saying I tried my best
