Trying

Having a best friend would be great
Someone to love through all the hate
A hand to hold, a shoulder to cry on
Advice to give, a person to rely on

You’re the only one who fits this
The only one, out of all who exist
I’m tired of trying to keep this concealed
But when I see you, it’s never revealed

I know when I come, my courage will sink
It’s only because I’m afraid of what you think
It makes me feel like I’m hitting the floor
But I know I’m letting you down even more

My feelings are always kept inside
‘Cause I’m always trying to hide
I am sorry for lying
But I want you to know I’m trying
