I'm Trying Lyrics - Shine - Martina Mcbride

She said, I'm not pointing fingers and he said, yes you are 

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

And if I told you I'd been walking out in the dark night thinking 

Would you take his truth as alcoholic's 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 to while this part of me is dying 

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 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 hanging 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 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 wanna be 

But, I'm trying, I'm trying, I'm trying, I'm trying
