I'm Trying

She said i'm not pointing fingers

He said yes you are

'cause you wouldn't bring it up if you weren't

If i told you i'd been walking

Out in the dark night thinking

Would you take as truth this alcoholic's word

I can't change what's done is done

But i can tell you this

Not a day goes by that i

Don't curse myself and all my sins

And i need you to hold on to

While this part of me is dying

And though i haven't kicked the demons

That haunt me

I'm trying

I'm trying

She sat down on the floor

And said i wish i was stronger

Right now i feel fragile as glass

I want to believe you

Believe what's held you has freed you

And i hate these doubts

That keep on coming back

My parent's think i'm crazy

For staying here this long

But there's nothing more i want for us

Than to prove to them they're wrong

I don't want to be afraid

I don't want to think you're lying

And though i haven't found the faith

That i need

I'm trying

I'm trying

He asked do you want me to leave

'cause if you do you know i will

But she said much to his disbelief

No i love you still

Oh i love you still

He said i don't know why i've been the fool

But i can tell you this

Not a day goes by that i

Don't curse myself and all my sins

Then he dropped down to his knees

By now they both were crying

He said i haven't been the man i want to be

But i'm trying

I'm trying

I'm trying believe me

I'm trying
