Lyric

Still Trying (B-Sides)

Back Tired

Look at me... I'm almost an old man now

Stepping closer to that age, standing in the cold

I've had a lot of things happen in this life of mine

Let me be real with you tonight

Heartbroken so many times, cheated on, divorced, left behind

Failing at my jobs, still paying off debts of every kind

Every single day, the weight is heavy on my chest

Sometimes it’s so hard to breathe, can't even get no rest

But listen to me... I'm still standing here alive

Through the dirt and the mud, I still survive

If your life is smooth and happy, man, I’m glad for you

I'm so happy you don't have to feel the pain that I went through

But if you’re in the dirt like me, yeah, it’s a heavy fight

Can't breathe, can't sleep, crying through the night

You feel like you're drowning, you feel so alone

Sitting by yourself on this cold, broken stone

But remember... the sun always rises, a new day will start

No matter how dark the night, it can't stop your heart

Crying nights, sleepless nights, they all gotta end

When the morning comes, the broken world will mend

Right now is just a dark season, a heavy undertow

But there's a light waiting for us down the road

Every single night, I fall asleep with a little prayer

Believing that happiness is waiting out there

Good times and bad times, they come and they go

It's a beautiful cycle that we all gotta know

If we can just cross over this mountain of pain

There’s a bright sunny day after this pouring rain

Yeah, it's painful, it's suffocating, it's a heavy load

But we're still walking down this bumpy road

You don't have to give up, you don't have to hide

Just keep that little spark burning deep inside

I pray that when your journey ends, you find your peaceful place

Yeah, you will reach your happiness... with a smile on your face

'Cause the sun always rises, a new day will start

No matter how dark the night, it can't stop your heart

Crying nights, sleepless nights, they all gotta end

When the morning comes, the broken world will mend

Don't you ever give up now, 'cause I'm still trying too

From the bottom of my heart, I am praying here for you

I'm not giving up on my life

So don't you dare give up on yours

We're gonna make it to the end

Thank you for listening

Peace
