[Verse 1]

I wait before I call you

I don't text back right away

I try to look like I have got a life

I make sure I look perfect

I make sure that you see

I'm just trying to be something you like

I don't always want to smile

I don't always want to pout

I'd love someone to come figure me out

[Pre-Chorus 1]

But I sit here by the sidelines

And they always turn me down

So I change myself and go another round

[Chorus]

I'm just trying to be something that makes you happy

I'm just trying to be something you want

I just want to feel your eyes looking at me

I'm just tired of always being wrong

Ooooh, oooh

[Verse 2]

I rearrange my schedule

I make sure that I'm free

If I don't try, we'll never hang out

I'm sure there are people who would like to catch me

But I'm too busy chasing to turn around

I know I can't be perfect

But one day I'll be close

And that's when someone will love me the most

[Pre-Chorus 2]

So I'll just keep on trying

I'll do the best I can

I can't compete just being who I am

[Chorus]

I'm just trying to be something that makes you happy

I'm just trying to be something you want

I just want to feel your eyes looking at me

I'm just tired of always being wrong

Ooooh, oooh

[Bridge]

I try so hard

I change so much

I put on a mask

I hide all of my feelings so well

I put on a mask

I hide all of my feelings so well

But every time they fall for it, it's all just a lie

'Cause I know that I'm not being myself

[Chorus]

I'm just trying to be something that makes you happy

I'm just trying to be something you want

I just want to feel your eyes looking at me

I'm just tired of always being wrong

Ooooh, oooh, oooh

Ooooh, oooh, oooh
