Trying to Get Through - Hothouse Flowers

Spent a long time on my own last night

I think I spent a little bit over the top

It’s just something in a bottle made me feel right

And I think that’s why I couldn’t stop

The man beside me had the warmest look of

Understanding in his eyes

As I went on about the laws, the barriers and things

That came upon me and my kind

I’m just trying to get through

We have words but sometimes words say too much

But they don’t say enough

The boy meets the girl, sometimes they sail smoothly

And sometimes it’s rough

I remember like a little child

Kicking against a stone wall that I built myself

I won’t give in now, won’t feel guilty

I’ll just rise up, I’ll have to be myself

Yeah, I’m just trying to get through

Trying to get through

So help me, I’m trying to get through

Can’t you see I’m trying to get through

Oh, help me through

Trying

So listen people what I tell you now

Life is hard but it’s worth keeping on

Listen people what I can tell you straight

It’s not too late to

Try and get through

I’m just trying to get through

So help me, help me

Trying to get through

Yeah, yeah, I’m trying to get through

So help me, I’m trying to get through

Understand why I’m trying to get through
