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 enoughNo 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 whoaI 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 wireI 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 enoughNo 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 areCome 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 enoughNo 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, yeahNo 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

Matthew West is a Christian singer who was raised in a suburb of Chicago, IL., where he discovered music at an early age. The son of a minister, he grew up in the front pew listening to his mom harmonize and following her lead. By the time he reached high school, Matthew remained involved in music and received a scholarship to study music at Millikin University in Illinois.

It was during his first year of college, that Matthew began playing guitar and writing songs. By Matthew's senior year, he was playing at every venue imaginable, from Fraternity houses to churches, and youth groups.

He signed an exclusive songwriting deal only a week after graduating and making the move to Nashville. His songs have been recorded by various artists including Rachel Lampa's most recent single, "Savior Song," which was Matthew's first top-5 song as a writer. Some other highlights were having songs placed on the platinum selling WoW 2002 project and also having his song, "Heart of Every Man recorded for the World Youth Day 2000 official soundtrack.

Matthew continued pursuing his dream of singing his own songs. Matthew had the opportunity to travel to universities across the country, and quickly began building up a steady following. With the help of Word Music and Extreme Writers Group, Matthew recorded an independent CD called, "Sellout," which caught the attention of Universal South Records.
