I'm Tryin'

She said, "I'm not pointing fingers", 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 alcoholic's 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
Oh 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 that 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 parent's 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 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"

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 want to be
But I'm trying, I'm trying, I'm trying, oh I'm trying"
