Ordering the bitter drink because it looks mature, Walking in the room like I was confident and sure. [Pre-Chorus] Practicing my hello in the rear-view mirror twice, Memorizing playlist tracks to seem easy and nice. Standing by the hallway door, staring at my screen, Terrified they'll see the boy behind the magazine. [Chorus] I’ve been trying so hard to fit in, Trading every honest piece of who I’ve been. Nodding at the things they say, laughing right on cue, Tell me, if I let it slip—would they want me too? Yeah, trying so hard just to fit in... Trying so hard just to fit in. [Verse 2] Untying my sneakers as I finally lock the door, Letting all the practiced smiles crumble to the floor. Silence in my bedroom feels like breathing for the first time, No lines to remember, no awkward hill to climb. [Pre-Chorus] I wonder if they noticed that my hands were shaking slight, Or if the version of me did its job tonight. [Chorus] I’ve been trying so hard to fit in, Trading every honest piece of who I’ve been. Nodding at the things they say, laughing right on cue, Tell me, if I let it slip—would they want me too? Yeah, trying so hard just to fit in... Trying so hard just to fit in. [Bridge] What if I stopped running for a seat at every table? What if I stopped pretending that I’m always strong and able? If I show up ordinary, quiet, slightly bruised... Is it really love if it’s the costume that they choose? [Final Chorus] No more trying so hard to fit in, I’m picking up the pieces from beneath my skin. I don't need the spotlight or a chorus of applause, I just want to be myself, without a hidden clause. No more trying so hard to fit in... [Outro] Just an ordinary guy... Learning how to breathe again. ──────────────────────────────────────── 🎙️ Credits & Archive Notes • Project: Student's Studio (@studentstudioseries) • Genre: Dreamy Indie Pop / Coming of Age / Acoustic Ballad • Visuals & Motion Direction: 60 FPS Cinematic Motion Engine ☕ For anyone who ever practiced their smile in the mirror or felt alone in a crowded room.
