I'm Trying - Martina McBride

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

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 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 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 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

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

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

He said I haven’t been the man I want to be

But I’m Trying

Oh, I’m Trying
