(darrell scott/tia sillers)



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 as truth this 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

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 want to be afraid, i don't want to 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 want to be

But, i'm trying

Oh,i'm trying

I'm trying

Oh lord, i'm trying
