Everything Is Embarrassing Lyrics

(I know you're trying)
Everything and nothing always haunts me
I know you're trying, I know you're trying
Waiting for your moment to fall on me
I saw you trying, I saw you trying

Maybe if you let me be your lover
Maybe if you tried then I would not bother
Telling me that basically you're not looking out for me
Everything is true to me
Never words where you would see
Maybe if you let me be your lover
Maybe if you tried then I would not bother

(I know you're trying, I know you're trying)
Hurts so bad I don't know what you want from me
You know I'm trying, you know I'm trying
And now we're hanging on by a heartbeat
You know I'm trying
I was always trying

Maybe if you let me be your lover
Maybe if you tried then I would not bother
Telling me that basically you're not looking out for me
Everything is true to me
Never words where you would see
Maybe if you let me be your lover
Maybe if you tried then I would not bother

I've been hating everything, everything that could have been
Could have been my anything
Now everything's embarrassing

Acting like it's nothing, such a bore
I saw the truth and I just can't ignore
You're trying to hold the heart that can't be stored
Say, I tried to give my best before
You wouldn't have the chance to give me more
You're only one step closer to the door

Maybe if you let me be your lover
Maybe if you tried then I would not bother
Telling me that basically you're not looking out for me
Everything is true to me
Never words where you would see
Maybe if you let me be your lover
Maybe if you tried then I would not bother

I've been hating everything, everything that could have been
Could have been my anything
Now everything's embarrassing

Maybe if you let me be your lover
Maybe if you tried then I would not bother
Telling me that basically you're not looking out for me
Everything is true to me
Never words where you would see
Maybe if you let me be your lover
Maybe if you tried then I would not bother

I've been hating everything, everything that could have been
Could have been my anything
Now everything's embarrassing

Everything Is Embarrassing

This Dance-Pop track originated with a demo sent by British songwriter Dev Hynes (Solange's "Losing You," Mutya Keisha Siobhan's "Flatline") which was inspired by a failed relationship; Ferreira then modified the original lyrics and structure along with her producer Ariel Rechtshaid.

The song was released as a single in the UK on April 14, 2013 and included on the 2013 Now That's What I Call Music! 46 compilation album in the US.

Ferreria and Hynes had been friends but the pair fell out over comments she made as to whose song it was. Ferreira told The Guardian: "He wrote the demo, and I've always given him credit, all I said was that the song wouldn't have been made without me on it. I think it's a shame because Dev's really talented and he's my friend. Well, was my friend – it's kinda sad that we can't be [friends] now."

Ferreira sung this on her debut television performance, during the January 7, 2013 episode of Late Night with Jimmy Fallon.

The track was critically acclaimed, with several publications and music blogs listing it among their favorites of 2012. New York magazine named it the best song of the year saying it, "has feathery grace and weary melodies, magic and sparkle, and feels as warm as curling up next to the radiator on a cold day."
