Still trying

Verse 1

I was young when I learned goodbye

Some names became memories overnight

I didn't know what to say

Didn't know where the pain would go

So I carried it anyway

Some days I couldn't see

The person I was supposed to be

Everybody said, "You'll be okay"

But they didn't know how hard it was

Just to make it through the day

Pre-Chorus

I don't have all the answers

I don't know where this road will end

But there's something inside me

That keeps saying, "Try again"

Chorus

I'm still trying, still trying

Even when I don't know why

I've been falling, I've been crying

But I haven't said goodbye

To the dreams inside my heart

To the person I could be

Maybe I don't have a story yet

But I'm still writing me

I'm still trying

Yeah, I'm still trying

Yeah, I'm still trying

One more step, one more night

I don't have to have it figured out

I'm just trying to see the light

Verse 2

I've watched people that I loved

Turn into pictures on the wall

And sometimes I still wish

I could hear their voices

Like they never left at all

I've had days when my own mind

Felt like somewhere I couldn't escape

But somewhere underneath it all

There was a little voice

Saying, "You're still here today"

Pre-Chorus

Maybe I'm not fearless

Maybe I'm not strong all the time

But every time I keep going

I leave another piece of darkness behind

Chorus

I'm still trying, still trying

Even when I don't know why

I've been falling, I've been crying

But I haven't said goodbye

To the dreams inside my heart

To the person I could be

Maybe I don't have a story yet

But I'm still writing me

I'm still trying

Yeah, I'm still trying

One more step, one more night

I don't have to have it figured out

I'm just trying to see the light

Rap

Yeah, I started with nothing but a dream in my head

A thousand little thoughts that I never said

I don't need a perfect past to prove I'm alive

I can take what I've been through and keep moving tonight

I lost some people

I lost some time

I lost myself for a little while

But I'm learning that a life isn't measured

By how many times you fall

It's getting back up when you're able

I don't know my ending

I'm only beginning

Maybe that's the point of this story I'm living

No perfect timeline, no perfect way

I'm becoming someone new every day

Bridge

And to the ones I miss

I hope somehow you know

I'm carrying your memories

Everywhere I go

I can't change yesterday

I can't bring back time

But I can take tomorrow

And make it mine

Final Chorus

I'm still trying, still trying

Now I'm looking at the sky

I've been hurting, I've been healing

And I'm learning I can fly

I don't need to know the ending

I just need to keep believing

Maybe I don't have a story yet

But I'm still writing me

I'm still trying

Yeah, I'm still trying

Even when the road gets hard

I'll keep chasing what I dreamed of

I'll keep reaching for the stars

Outro

Maybe my journey's just beginning

Maybe this is only chapter one

I don't know where I'll be tomorrow

But I'll keep going

Until I find out
