this is me trying + State of Grace (Live) - Taylor Swift

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

I was so ahead of the curve the curve became a sphere

Fell behind all 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 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

I just wanted you to know that this is me trying

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

At least I'm trying

At least I'm trying

I'm walking fast through the traffic lights

Busy streets and busy lives

And all we know is touch and go

We are alone with our changing minds

We fall in love 'til it hurts or bleeds

Or fades in time

And I never

Saw you coming

And I'll never

Be the same

You come around and the armor falls

Pierce the room like a cannonball

Now all we know is don't let go

We are alone just you and me

Up in your room and our slates are clean

Just twin fire signs four blue eyes

So you were never a saint

And I've loved in shades of wrong

We learn to live with the pain

Mosaic broken hearts

But this love is brave and wild

And I never

Saw you coming

And I'll never

Be the same

This is a state of grace

This is the worthwhile fight

Love is a ruthless game

Unless you play it good and right

These are the hands of fate

You're my Achilles heel

This is the golden age

Of something good and right and real

And I never

Saw you coming

And I'll never

Be the same

And I never

Saw you coming

And I'll never

Be the same

This is a state of grace

This is the worthwhile fight

Love is a ruthless game

Unless you play it good and right
