Matthew West's lyrics celebrate self-acceptance and the freedom that comes from embracing one's true identity. The song reflects a journey of rejecting societal pressures to conform and the relentless pursuit of perfection imposed by external standards. West emphasizes the importance of authenticity, expressing a refusal to change to please others. The imagery of burning beauty magazines symbolizes discarding false ideals and embracing the intrinsic worth within each person. Empowering and uplifting, the song encourages listeners to cherish their uniqueness and recognizes that self-worth isn't defined by societal comparisons. By realizing that both he and others are "one of a kind," West invites everyone to understand that who they truly are is more than enough. 🌟 Ultimately, this anthem of self-worth advocates for the courage to stop trying to be someone else and to embrace one's genuine self wholeheartedly.
Tryin'
Lyrics
Used to hate what I saw in the mirror
Now I'm seeing it a little bit clearer
I've spent my last day tryin'
I've spent my last day tryin'
Everybody going out of their way
Trying to change who I am and hey
I've spent my last day tryin'
I've spent my last day tryin'
I don't want to fit in
So much for measuring up
The truth is sinking in
Who I am is good enough
No more tryin'
No more tryin'
Tryin' to be
Anybody other than me
'Cause I'm no copy
I'm no replay
I'm one of a kind
And starting now I'm done
Tryin', tryin'
Oh oh whoa
Tryin' tryin'
Oh oh whoa
I want to buy the world a great big trash can
Get all the beauty magazines that I can
Through them in and set them on fire
What? Yep, I'm gonna set them on fire
'Cause every page is a lie they're tellin'
And every face is a promise they're sellin'
Those things got one less buyer
I'm not gonna walk that wire
I dont want to fit in
So much for measuring up
The truth is sinking in
Who I am is good enough
Who you are is good enough
No more tryin'
No more tryin'
Tryin' to be
Anybody other than me
'Cause I'm no copy
I'm no replay
I'm one of a kind
And starting now I'm done
Tryin'
More than just the outside
Love looks at the heart
You and me were made by
The hands that made the stars
And tonight that's what we are
Come on, let's light, light, light it up
We gonna light, light, light it up
We gonna light, light, light it up, oh oh
You and me, we gonna light light light it up
Come on, light, light, light it up
'Cause who I am is good enough
And who you are is good enough
No more tryin'
No more tryin'
Tryin' to be
Anybody other than me
'Cause I'm no copy, no
I'm no replay
I'm one of a kind, yeah
No more tryin'
No more tryin'
Tryin' to be
Anybody other than me, yeah
'Cause I'm no copy
I'm no replay
I'm one of a kind
And starting now I'm done
Tryin', tryin'
Oh oh whoa
Tryin' tryin'
Oh oh whoa
