[Verse 1]
It's nice to meet you
I don’t think we've met before
You're the same girl
That almost gave up
Lying on the bedroom floor

It’s nice to meet you
All the pain in those blue eyes
Is gonna disappear
Just like the stars do
When the sun rises

[Pre-Chorus]
I've never been one to cry before
Never been one to cry
At least not with an audience
I kept it all inside

[Chorus]
But I can get hurt
I can get messy
I can be blue
Counting my blessings
I'm not perfect
But fuck, I'm trying

I can work hard
I can be sexy
Still insecure
Like everybody
I'm not perfect
But fuck, I'm trying

[Verse 2]
You look familiar
With the make-up off your face
Just another human being
Trying to finally find your place

You look familiar
I know you've been a lonely right
You never quite fit in
You've always been up right outside

[Pre-Chorus]
I’ve never been one to cry before
Never been one to cry
At least not with an audience
I kept it all inside

[Chorus]
But I can get hurt
I can get messy
I can be blue
Counting my blessings
I’m not perfect
But fuck, I'm trying

I can work hard
I can be sexy
Still insecure
Like everybody
I’m not perfect
But fuck, I'm trying

[Post-Chorus]
Trying, trying
I'm trying, trying
I'm trying, trying
Fuck, I’m trying

I'm trying, trying
I'm trying, trying
I'm trying, trying
Fuck, I'm trying

[Bridge]
I can be wrong
I can be jealous
But I'll be there
When nobody else is
I'm not perfect
I'm not perfect

[Chorus]
But I can get hurt
I can get messy
I can be blue
Counting my blessings
I'm not perfect
But fuck, I'm trying

I can work hard
I can be sexy
I'm insecure
Like everybody
I'm not perfect
But fuck, I'm trying

[Post-Chorus]
Trying, trying
I'm trying, trying
I'm trying, trying
Fuck, I'm trying

I'm trying, trying
I'm trying, trying
I'm trying, trying
Fuck, I'm trying

Kesha Rose Sebert, whose mononymous stage name was previously spelled Ke$ha, is an American singer-songwriter best known for hits like “Tik Tok” and “Praying.” Her mother, Pebe Sebert is also a songwriter, and the two have worked together on songs like “Learn to Let Go.”

In 2005, at age eighteen, Kesha signed a record deal with Dr. Luke’s Kemosabe Records. Her first major recording was an uncredited feature on Flo Rida’s 2009 hit “Right ‘Round,” which she recorded after walking into a session between Flo and Dr. Luke. She released her debut album, Animal, the next year, after choosing from hundreds of songs, and the record debuted at #1 on the Billboard 200 chart. Lead single “Tik Tok” broke the record for the longest time for a female artist’s debut single to top the Billboard Hot 100.

Nine months after Animal dropped, Kesha rereleased it alongside Cannibal, an extended play featuring hits like “We R Who We R,” which debuted at #1 on the Billboard Hot 100, and “Blow.” In February 2011, Kesha kicked off her Get Sleazy Tour, which travelled through the Americas, Europe, and Australia. During the tour, she began writing for her sophomore album, Warrior, which was released in November 2012. She then embarked on a world tour, and was joined by future “Timber” collaborator Pitbull on the North American leg.
