[Verse 1]
Wake up, I love you
You love me
We say it every day
And I make up some coffee
We go our separate ways
And you come home, you kiss me
Not too much to say, you're busy
I get it

[Chorus]
Just tell me that you're tryin'
That's all I really wanna know
And I'm gonna be alright when
Dad is knockin' on the door
Don't wanna be the only one who's pickin' up the slack
If you're gettin' something, you should give it back
I swear to God I am
So tell me that you're trying, trying
Yeah

[Verse 2]
Come on, we had it
I felt it, look as us now
You wouldn't know it, all the space thats in the middle of the bed that we're layin' in
And I don't need every answer to every fight
I don't need a happy ending tonight
I guess ill throw the clothes in the dryer
I'll let it go 'cause you'e tried
[Chorus]
But tell me that you're tryin'
That's all I really wanna know
And we're gonna be alright when
Dad is knockin' on the door
Don't wanna be the only one who's pickin' up the slack
If you're gettin' something, you should give it back
I swear to God I am
So tell me that you're trying, trying, hey
Tell me that you're trying

[Bridge]
Well, if you're not sayin' goodbye
Please tell me I'm worth the fight
Just tell me that you're trying, trying

[Chorus]
Don't wanna be the only one who's pickin' up the slack
If you're gettin' something, you should give it back
I swear to God I am
So tell me that you're trying, trying, hey
Tell me that you're trying, trying
