That Kind of Year

Tried to call you but I couldn't press the buttons Blamed it all on frozen fingers, I was still wearing a sunburn But I meant to ask you did you ever get my letter Wrote it all out in my head but felt too shitty in September Just to let you know I'm still here Promised I'd do better but it's been That kind of year Tried to tell you but it slipped right through my mind Fell asleep at half past something and I never found the time I guess I kept you waiting till you should've said goodbye Blood ran thicker than the current, I surrendered to the tides Until I saw you still right there Thought you might be bitter but it's been That kind of year And I said (Oh oh oh) And I said (Oh oh oh) If I let you down again please know that I'm not fine Oh lord I swear I'm trying And I said (Oh oh oh) And I said (Oh oh oh) Promised I'd do better, promised I'd do better but it's been Thought you might be bitter, thought you might be bitter but it's been Swore that I'd do better, trying to do better but it's been Promised I'd do better but it's been that kind of year Oh lord, oh lord I swear I'm trying I swear I'm trying
