I Try

I try my hardest to prevail l but waking up everyday gets a bit harder I try my hardest not to fail, using my strength but everyone feels stronger I try my hardest to prevail, using my mind but everyone seems smarter Ask me how I'm doing I'll say not too well, my biggest fear is being like my father Trying to make sure that my boat sails, but everybody else sails so much farther Almost lost my life that night, held it at my heart and almost pulled the trigger Can't say I'm always thinking right, almost left mom son less and my sisters And we're singing, and we're singing And we're singing all the time And baby I know, that time don't always take away your pain And baby I know, you can hold an umbrella still feel the rain And baby I know, they say it gets better but you feel the same And baby I know, it kills to speak the past that comes with your name They say just let go, but last time you did, nobody caught you what a shame Be careful with what you throw, you know those sticks turn embers to flames I saw the tears falling from her eyes, I was too young but I tried to save her He promised her love and tried to take her pride, scars and abuse was all that he gave her And we're singing, and we're singing And even though we're hurt we see our dreams come true and Dreams are what you make them, so let's get started Save a little room for the broken hearted Our pain is over now we're stronger than when we started We're singing, and we're singing We're singing, yeah we're singing And we're singing all the time I try my hardest not to fail, waking up everyday it's not harder I try my hardest to prevail, using my strength I feel a little bit stronger I try my hardest not to fail, using my mind I feel a little bit smarter Ask me how I'm doing I'll say I'm doing well, I see all the good things in my father I'm tryna make sure that my boat sails, and with everyday I know it sails a little bit farther And we're singing and we're singing and we're singing all the time
