Trying

I'm not always the best version of me, sometimes I fall short

And I'm wrong when I try to do things my way, 'cause I make mistakes

But you love me, though I don't always believe

I'm trying to not get in my own way again

And I'm trying, it's not something that I can pretend

God knows I'm trying, and that's all I can do

The only place I find strength is you

And I disappoint myself when I know I know better

And try to please others

And there are those days, when I'm meant to care

But you tell me to shine, shine

But you love me, though I don't always believe

I'm trying to not get in my own way again

And I'm trying, it's not something that I can pretend

God knows I'm trying, and that's all I can do

The only place I find strength is you

Through my imperfection, my doubt and my pain

You take all the ugly, and throw it away

I'm growing, I'm changing but you stay the same

You know who I am and you love me anyway

I'm trying to not get in my own way again

And I'm trying, it's not something that I can pretend

God knows I'm trying, and that's all I can do

The only place I find strength is you
