Jobi Riccio - Trying

Trying to be fine alone
With TV for company
Friends on the telephone
Shadows grow and turn the walls navy blue

Trying not to give in into
All the emotions I still feel for you
The way I can't touch you
The way you don't call
Even now

I'm alone in my hometown
My high school graduation gown
Stares me down
All the photos on the wall
All the dreams I had when I was small
Are bringing me to tears tonight
I took for granted most years of life
I take for granted most things in my life

Trying to be good to me
Apologizing to my body
I've been so mean and she's fighting
To keep me alive

Trying not to give in to
Grieving all I have yet to lose
And the sadness in my chest
Stealing air out of my life

Back here in my hometown
My high school graduation gown
Stares me down
All the photos on the wall
All the dreams I had when I was small
Are bringing me to tears tonight
I took for granted most years of life
I take for granted most things in my life
