Tryna Be Fine

written by Jake Stilson

Well it seems like I’ve been wandering 

around the swimmin’ pool

Dippin’ my toes in the shallow end

Tryna play it cool

Jealous of the folks that cannonball

Like angry fool

I can cannonball too-oo-oo

There ain’t no rules 

Every morning I’m serving up A bad attitude 

No need to tell me to smile

This is just me and my moods

And No need to worry momma

I ain’t bein rude

It’s just hard to look past the ba-a-ad 

And start seeing good 

Meanwhile I’m

Tryna To be fine

But it’s taking all my will and precious time

They say failure shoulda made me smarter

but just Givin’ up is a shitty non starter

And meanwhile

I’m tryna be fine

Every evening I settle down 

with a heavy heart

Can’t seem to catch a lucky break

And stop playing parts

One of these days I’ll wake up

To a brand new start

With fond memories of livin my dreams

In a honky tonk bar

Meanwhile I’m

Tryin To be fine

But it’s taking all my stubborn will and all my precious time

They say failure shoulda made me smarter

but Just Givin’ up is a shitty non starter

And meanwhile

I’m tryna be fine

meanwhile

I’m tryna be fine
