I'm Trying Lyrics - Kevin Sharp

She said, "I'm not pointing fingers" and 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 his truth as alcholoics 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 parents 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 wanna be afraid, I don't wanna think you're lying 

And though I haven't found the faith yet, that I need" 

"I'm trying 

Oh, 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" 

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 

Said, "I haven't been the man I wanna be" 

"But, I'm trying 

Oh, I'm trying 

I'm trying 

Oh Lord, I'm trying"
