"I'm Trying"
(Darrell Scott / Tia Sillers)

She said I'm not pointin'
Fingers and he said yes you
Are 'cause you wouldn't bring
It up if you weren't

And if I'd told you I'd been
Walking out in the dark night
Thinking would you take his truth
His alcohol his word?

Oh 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 too
While this part of me is dyin'
Tho I haven't kicked the
Demons that haunt me
Im trying
Im trying

She sat down on the floor
And said I wish that I was
Stronger right now
I feel as fragile as glass
And I want to believe
You believe what's held you has freed
You and I hate these doubts that
Keep on coming back

My parents think I'm crazy
For hangin on this long
But there's nothing I want
More for us than to prove to them
They're wrong.

And I don't wanna be afraid
I don't wanna think you're lyin'
Tho 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 cryin'
He said I haven't been the man I wanna be
But Im trying
Im trying
Im trying
Im trying
