I'm Trying
Navigating Shadows: A Tale of Redemption and Love
Lyrics
She said I'm not pointing fingers
Expressing not assigning blame
He said yes you are
Denial of not pointing fingers
Cause you wouldn't bring it up if you weren't
Acknowledging hidden accusation
If I told you I've been walking out in the dark night thinking
Reflecting on personal struggles
Would you take this truth this alcohol is worth
Questioning if honesty is valued
Oh I can't change what's done is done
Acceptance of irreversible actions
But I can tell you this
Asserting ongoing remorse
Not a day goes by that I don't curse myself and all my sins
Daily regret for past mistakes
And I need you to hold on to while this part of me is dying
Seeking support during personal struggle
No I haven't kicked the demons that haunt me
Acknowledging unresolved personal issues
I'm trying
Expressing commitment to change
I'm trying
Reiterating determination to improve
She sat down on the floor
Physical manifestation of vulnerability
Said I wish that I was stronger
Wishing for emotional strength
Right now I feel as fragile as glass
Feeling emotionally fragile
And I want to believe you believe what's held you has freed you
Desiring belief in personal transformation
And I hate these doubts that keep on coming back
Struggling with recurring doubts
My parents think I'm crazy
Family's perception of unconventional choices
For staying here this long
Commitment to proving doubters wrong
But there's nothing more I want for us than to prove to them they're wrong
Desire to overcome fear and skepticism
I don't want to be afraid I don't want to think you're lying
Fear of deception and desire for honesty
Though I haven't found the faith that I need
Struggling to find faith
I'm trying
Reiterating commitment to change
I'm trying
Continued determination to improve
He asked do you want me to leave
Offering to leave to respect wishes
Cause if you do you know I will
Expressing willingness to comply
But she said much to his disbelief
Contradicting expected response
No I love you still
Affirming enduring love despite challenges
Oh I love you still
Reiterating enduring love
He said I don't know why I've been the fool
Acknowledging personal shortcomings
But I can tell you this
Daily regret for past mistakes (repeated)
Not a day goes by that I don't curse myself and all my sins
Continued remorse and self-blame
Then he dropped down to his knees
Symbolic act of humility and vulnerability
By now they both were crying
Shared emotional vulnerability
He said I haven't been the man I want to be
Admitting personal shortcomings
But I'm trying
Reiterating commitment to change
I'm trying
Continued determination to improve
Oh I'm trying
Reaffirming persistent effort
Oh I'm trying
Reaffirming persistent effort (repeated)
