[Verse 1]
What kind of breeze do you think you are?
You bend me 'til I break
And what kind of dance did you drag me to?
Like a Baptist, I moan and shake
[Pre-Chorus]
If I should fall, fall off the shelf

To be true
[Chorus]
I'm trying, I'm trying, I’m trying, I'm trying
I'm trying, I'm trying, I'm trying

Forever's too long
You shake me ’til I don't know right from–
Right from wrong
What kind of breeze do you think you are?

If I should fall, fall off the shelf
I’m only trying to be true to myself
To be true
[Chorus]
I'm trying, I'm trying, I’m trying, I'm trying
I'm trying, I'm trying, I'm trying
Well, I'm trying, I'm trying, I'm trying, I’m trying, I–
[Post-Chorus]
I thought I could fake forever
But I was wrong
I thought I could wait forever
I thought I was strong
Can’t put on the brake forever
Forever's too long
You shake me ’til I don't know right from–
Right from wrong
