Been trying to make myself a name
Cut off my limbs to have skin in the game
Never one to show the blood when I'm bleeding
But I'm too weak if I ever show the pain
Stone cold if I lock it all away
Damned if I do or don't but you don't see it
You can't say I'm not trying
You can't say I'm not trying
You can't say I'm not doing my best
Might not be where I want yet
You can't say I'm not trying
You can't say I'm not trying
You can't say I'm not doing my best
The process it might be a mess
But you can't say I'm not trying
Been doing what I'm supposed to do
Go to war and get the scars to prove
Even if I don't win, I'm still fighting
But I still run even though I lose the race
Mask the tears with a smile on my face
Might hate every song but I'm still writing
You can't say I'm not trying
You can't say I'm not trying
You can't say I'm not doing my best
Might not be where I want yet
You can't say I'm not trying
You can't say I'm not trying
You can't say I'm not doing my best
The process it might be a mess
But you can't say I'm not trying
Just tell me that I'm doing fine
Maybe then I'll sleep tonight
Just tell me I'm good enough
When I say it, I call my own bluff
Just tell me I'm doing fine
Even if it means you lie
Just tell me I'm good enough
You can't say I'm not trying
You can't say I'm not trying
You can't say I'm not doing my best
Might not be where I want yet
You can't say I'm not trying
You can't say I'm not trying
You can't say I'm not doing my best
The process it might be a mess
You can't say I'm not trying
You can't say I'm not trying
You can't say I'm not doing my best
Might not be where I want yet
You can't say I'm not trying
You can't say I'm not trying
You can't say I'm not doing my best
The process it might be a mess
But you can't say I'm not trying
