This Is Me Trying – I’ve been having a hard time adjusting
I had the shiniest wheels, now they’re rusting
I didn’t know if you’d care if I came back
I have a lot of regrets about that
Pulled the car off the road to the lookout
Could’ve followed my fears all the way down
And maybe I don’t quite know what to say
But I’m here in your doorway
I just wanted you to know
That this is me trying
I just wanted you to know
That this is me trying
They told me all of my cages were mental
So I got wasted like all my potential
And my words shoot to kill when I’m mad
I have a lot of regrets about that
I was so ahead of the curve, the curve became a sphere
Fell behind on my classmates, and I ended up here
Pouring out my heart to a stranger
But I didn’t pour the whiskey
I just wanted you to know
That this is me trying
I just wanted you to know
That this is me trying
At least I’m trying
And it’s hard to be at a party when I feel like an open wound
It’s hard to be anywhere these days when all I want is for you
You’re a flashback in a film reel on the one screen in my town
And I just wanted you to know
That this is me trying
(And maybe I don’t quite know what to say)
I just wanted you to know
That this is me trying
At least I’m trying
About Taylor Swift
A United States pop and country music singer-songwriter with tales of young heartbreak, Taylor Swift (born December 13, 1989, West Reading, Pennsylvania, U.S.) achieved wide-spread success in the early new century.
A young Swift demonstrated a keen interest in music from an early age, and she progressed quickly from roles in children’s theatre to her first appearance in front of thousands of peoplee was age 11 when she sang “The Star-Spangled Banner” before a Philadelphia 76ers basketball game, and the following year she picked up the guitar and began to write songs. Swift derived inspiration for her original material from country music artists Shania Twain and the Dixie Chicks. It was at the age of thirteen that Swift’s parents sold their farm in Pennsylvania and relocated to Hendersonville, Tennessee, to devote more of their time to courting country labels in the nearby Nashville area while she was still a child.
After debuting on the Billboard country singles chart eight months ago, the song was an immediate success. With Swift now 16 years old, she has released an album that is self-titled, and she has also gone on tour, opening for Rascal Flatts. Having sold more than one million albums in the United States alone, Taylor Swift was certified platinum in 2007. Swift will continue to tour rigorously throughout this year, opening for artists such as George Strait, Kenny Chesney, Tim McGraw, and Faith Hill among others. It was also in November that Swift received the Horizon Award for best new artist that year from the Country Music Association (CMA), capping the season in which she emerged as one of the most visible young performers in country music.
