i m trying

Martina Mcbride

She said,
"I'm not pointing fingers."
But he said,
"Yes you are
Cause you wouldn't bring it up if you weren't.

And if I told you I'd been walking
Out in the dark night thinking,
Would you take as true
This alcoholic's word?
Oh 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 my sins.

And I need you to hold onto.
While this part of me is dying.
Though I haven't kicked the demons that haunt me.
I'm tryin'.
I'm tryin'."

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.
I hate these doubts that keep on coming back.
My parents think I'm crazy for hanging on this long.
But there's nothing I want more for us than to prove to them they're wrong.

And I don't wanna be afraid,
I don't wanna think you're lyin'.
And though I haven't found the faith that I need,
I'm tryin'.
I'm tryin'."

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."

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 my sins."
Then he dropped down to his knees
By now they both were cryin'
He said, "I haven't been the man I want to be.
But I'm tryin'
I'm tryin'.
I'm tryin'
I'm tryin'
