I’m Trying (Not Friends) - Maisie Peters

Can you hear all of my open wounds? I'm whispering as loud as the flowers bloom I've been somewhere in the sky, don't worry I'll be right on time if I can help it I'm so sorry I've been trying not to cry in the grocery store Little bully inside pinning me to the floor It must be easier than it seems But I can't get these thorns out of my teeth It's killing me, but I want more Cover my ears I think I'm shutting down, going standby Sleep mode, offline Feel nothing It's quiet as hell in my room I've been fighting for my sanctuary How do I stay alive if I don't wanna be? I've been trying not to cry in the grocery store Littlе bully inside pinning me to the floor It must bе easier than it seems But I can't get these thorns out of my teeth It's killing me, but I want more

I'm not tryin' to forget you anymore I've got back into remembering all the love we had before And I'd been tryin' to forget someone that my heart still adores So I'm not tryin' to forget you anymore You're just someone who brought happiness into my life And it did not last forever, oh, but that's all right We were always more than lovers and I'm still your friend And if I had the chance, I'd do it all again So I'm not tryin' to forget you anymore I've got back into remembering all the love we had before And I'd been tryin' to forget someone that my heart still adores So I'm not tryin' to forget you anymore You're just someone who brought happiness into my life And it did not last forever, oh, but that's all right We were always more than lovers and I'm still your friend And if I had the chance, I'd do it all again So I'm not tryin' to forget you anymore I've got back into remembering all the love we had before And the best thing of my life is still When you walked through my door So I'm not tryin' to forget you anymore I'm not tryin' to forget you anymore
