Lyric

[Verse 1]

You missed the train again

Mascara on your hand

Laughing as you run and say

"Guess I'm late, but I still came"

Tiny cracks in perfect plans

Coffee stains on all your dreams

But you still write another page

You still show up for your heart each day

[Pre-Chorus]

Clap it out

(Hey) one more time

Clap it out

We're still alive

Say it loud

"I won't hide"

Say it loud

I’m on my side

[Chorus]

I love the you who tried

Even when your voice was shaking

I love the you who cried

Then wiped your tears and kept on chasing

Not the flawless, shining lie

But the girl who falls and still stands upright

Every scar you never hide

I love the you who tried, who tried (Oh yeah)

[Verse 2]

All the photos, tilted frames

You never learned the angles game

But your honest, awkward grin

Always lets the sunlight in

Everyone can fake a glow

You just let your colors show

Even when they say you're strange

You don't trade your name for fame

[Pre-Chorus]

Clap it out

(Hey) one more time

Clap it out

Look at you climb

Say it loud

"I'll be fine"

Say it loud

This heart is mine

[Chorus]

I love the you who tried

When the world felt cold and heavy

I love the you who sighed

Took a breath and took it steady

Not the story all replied

But the quiet wish you kept inside

Every "almost", every "why"

I love the you who tried, who tried

[Bridge]

When your courage feels so small

Like a whisper down the hall

I will shout it back to you

You are brave just showing up at all

[Chorus]

I love the you who tried

Every step, imperfect, golden

I love the you who tried

All the doors you dared to open

Not the polished, practiced side

But the shaking hands you never hide

Till your fear and hope collide

I love the you who tried, who tried (Hey)

I love the you who tried
