trying my best
Navigating Love's Maze: Daisy Veacock's Emotional Journey in 'Trying My Best'
Lyrics
I left all my friends
Expressing a decision to separate from friends.
Went home alone again
Returning home without companionship.
They were getting drunk in Piccadilly
Friends engaged in revelry at Piccadilly.
Kissing people that we barely knew
Friends involved in intimate actions with strangers.
I didn't stay to long
Didn't stay at the gathering for an extended period.
I didn't hit it off with anyone
No connection established with anyone at the event.
I'd rather sulk with lo-fi music on a bus
Preference for solitude with sad music on public transport.
And hurt thinking of you
Reflecting on past hurts while thinking of someone.
Drove across the bridge on the river
Driving over a bridge near Waterloo.
The one by Waterloo
Geographical reference to a bridge location.
Was looking back through pictures
Nostalgically reviewing photos until experiencing emotional pain.
Until my chest ached and my lips turned blue
Physical and emotional distress triggered by memories.
Cause I've been trying my best but life is stringing along
Expressing persistent effort despite life's challenges.
I keep avoiding conversations and that one stupid song
Avoiding conversations and a particular song due to personal reasons.
My rooms still a mess over-obsess about impressing new
Room remains messy due to a focus on impressing new people.
People and I just want to cling to 18
Desire to hold onto the age of 18 without negative experiences.
Without the sad bits or the heartbreaks or the things in-between
Wishing for a life without sadness, heartbreaks, or in-between moments.
I've missed you a bit since when I saw you over Christmas break
Expressing a missed connection with someone seen during Christmas break.
Somedays I wish you stayed
Wishing for the person to have stayed.
Somedays I'm Just okay
Emotional state varying between wanting and being just okay.
I've been trying my best but things just aren't the same
Continued effort despite the feeling that things have changed.
I left him on read
Ignoring a message, possibly from a romantic interest.
Keep wishing you were here instead
Desiring the presence of a specific person instead.
Was picturing October closed my eyes couldn't make him you
Imagining a past month, associating it with the desired person.
But maybe I'm what's wrong
Self-reflection on being a potential source of problems.
I fell for another one
Falling for another person despite past experiences.
At least he was nice
Finding solace in the kindness of the new person.
Unlike the guy with the lie last June
Contrasting the new person with a deceitful individual from the past June.
Drove across the bridge on the river
Repeating the experience of driving over a bridge near Waterloo.
The one by Waterloo
Contemplating ways to reconnect with the desired person.
Was thinking of ways I could be finding my days
Reflecting on finding joy in daily life.
Back with you
Yearning to return to a previous connection with a specific person.
Cause I've been trying my best but life is stringing along
Continued effort despite challenges in life.
I keep avoiding conversations and that one stupid song
Avoiding conversations and a specific song due to personal reasons.
My heads still a mess over-obsess that you've got someone new
Struggling with thoughts about the desired person having someone new.
And I keep wishing that I could maybe cling to 18
Wishing to hold onto the age of 18 without negative experiences.
Without the sad bits or the heartbreaks or the things in-between
Desire for a life without sadness, heartbreaks, or in-between moments.
I know that you saw it when I kissed him over Christmas break
Acknowledging that the person noticed a kiss during Christmas break.
Somedays I wish we stayed
Wishing for a past decision to have been different.
Somedays I'm Just okay
Emotional state varying between wanting and being just okay.
Been trying my best but things just aren't the same
Continued effort despite the feeling that things have changed.
And one day I hope you'll say
Expressing hope for a positive future reconciliation.
That you now miss me and it all could be okay
Anticipation for a day when the person expresses missing them.
Been trying my best but things just aren't the same
Continued effort despite the feeling that things have changed.
