[Verse 1]
Alarm on repeat
Can’t get my feet to the floor
Brush my teeth
Lose my breath
Heart’s racing at the door
Call in sick
Say “I’m fine”
Stare at cracks in the paint
Every day
Same mountain
Same climb
Same faint
[Chorus]
I keep trying
Trying
Trying
But I’m cursed for no reason
Every win just slips right through my hands
I keep fighting
Fighting
Fighting
But I’m losing to a feeling
Like I’m paying for a crime I don’t understand
Like I’m paying for a crime I don’t understand
[Verse 2]
Friends say “just breathe”
Like air is all that I lack
They don’t see that heavy
Little shadow on my back
I line up my plans
All in rows
All straight
Then my brain kicks the table
Screams “you’re already late”
[Chorus]
I keep trying
Trying
Trying
But I’m cursed for no reason
Every win just slips right through my hands
I keep fighting
Fighting
Fighting
But I’m losing to a feeling
Like I’m paying for a crime I don’t understand
Like I’m paying for a crime I don’t understand
[Bridge]
Is it something I said?
Another life I don’t remember?
Some old promise I broke
Some forgotten ember?
I’m so tired of the dark
Of guessing what I did wrong
If I’m doomed to fall apart
Can I still sing along? (oh)
[Chorus]
I keep trying
Trying
Trying
But I’m cursed for no reason
Every win just slips right through my hands
I keep fighting
Fighting
Fighting
But I’m losing to a feeling
Like I’m paying for a crime I don’t understand
Like I’m paying for a crime I don’t understand
