Richard Thompson - Trying Lyrics

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'll moan and shake

If I should fall, fall off the shelf
I'm only trying to be true to myself
To be true

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

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

And what kind of house
Are you building for me?
The sand shifts under my feet
And what kind of pill
Did you slip in my tea?
The bitter taste, so sweet

If I should fall, fall off the shelf
I'm only trying to be true to myself
To be true

Well, 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

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
From wrong

Right from wrong
Right from wrong
Right from wrong
