I'm Trying
Redemption's Struggle: A Heartfelt Journey of Love and Change
Lyrics
She said I'm not pointing fingers,
Expressing a lack of blame or accusation.
He said yes you are,
Challenging the denial, suggesting hidden blame.
Cause you wouldn't bring it up if you weren't.
Pointing out the implied accusation in bringing up the topic.
And if I'd told you I'd been walking
Hinting at secretive actions, possibly related to struggles.
Out in the dark night thinking
Reflecting on personal thoughts during a difficult time.
Would you take as truth this alcoholic's word?
Questioning if the listener would trust words spoken under the influence.
Oh I can't change, what's done is done,
Accepting the inability to change the past.
But I can tell you this
Asserting the speaker's ability to share a certain truth.
Not a day goes by that I don't curse myself and all my sins
Expressing regret and self-blame on a daily basis.
And I need you to hold on too,
Requesting emotional support from the listener.
While this part of me is dying
Acknowledging a personal struggle or crisis.
Though I haven't kicked the demons that haunt me,
Admitting ongoing battles with personal demons.
I'm trying, I'm trying.
Emphasizing the effort to change and improve.
She sat down on the floor and said I wish that I was stronger
Expressing vulnerability and a desire for strength.
Right now I feel as fragile as glass.
Feeling emotionally fragile and in need of reassurance.
And I want to believe you,
Expressing a desire to believe in the positive impact of the relationship.
Believe what's held you has freed you,
Wishing to overcome recurring doubts and insecurities.
And I hate these doubts that keep on comin' back.
Expressing frustration with persistent doubts.
My parents think I'm crazy for hangin' on this long,
Facing external skepticism, possibly from parents.
But there's nothing I want more for us
Desiring to prove doubters wrong for the sake of the relationship.
Than to prove to them they're wrong.
Expressing a strong commitment to the relationship.
And I don't want to be afraid,
Expressing a desire to overcome fear.
I don't wanna think you're lying,
Rejecting the fear of deception.
And though I haven't found the faith that I need,
Admitting a lack of complete faith but expressing effort.
I'm trying. I'm trying.
Reiterating the commitment to change and improve.
He asks do you want me to leave?
Offering to leave if that's what the partner wants.
Cause if you do you know I will,
Expressing willingness to act based on partner's decision.
But she says, much to his disbelief,
Surprised by the partner's decision to stay despite challenges.
No, I love you still.
Reaffirming enduring love despite difficulties.
Oh, I love you still.
Emphasizing the depth of ongoing love.
He said I don't know why I've been the fool,
Expressing confusion about past mistakes.
But I can tell you this,
Reiterating regret for daily self-cursing.
Not a day goes by that I don't curse myself and all my sins.
Continuing to acknowledge personal faults.
Then he dropped down to his knees,
Symbolizing humility and remorse by dropping to knees.
By now they both were crying,
Both parties sharing emotional distress.
He said, I haven't been the man I want to be,
Admitting the struggle to be the desired person.
But I'm trying. I'm trying. I'm trying, I'm trying.
Emphasizing continuous effort and commitment to change.
