Trying

I got brought up for an award today
Wearing clothes I bought out in LA
and back home my mother's crying
'Cause daddy's going blind
And it looks like sister's popping pills again

I don't think it ever ends
This feeling like you'll never win
Guess I don't mind it
'Cause I just keep trying

I've been down this low before
Fighting in a thousand wars
Not sure how far the line is
Hoping to find it

I just keep trying
I just keep trying

All my friends are unhappy
All my heroes are dead
the people tell me their problems
Wonder why I don't rest
I'm trying to find my breathing
Trying to find the meaning
This life will not come around again

I don't think it ever ends
This feeling that you'll never win
Guess I don't mind it
'Cause I just keep trying

I've been down this low before
Fighting in a thousand wars
Not sure how far the line is
Hoping to find it

I just keep trying
I just keep trying
I just keep trying
I just keep trying

I keep trying (I keep trying)
to hold my head up high through the storm (I keep trying)
Trying to find some place of my own (I keep trying)
Where life ain't as mean as it's been
(I keep trying, I keep trying, I keep trying)
I keep trying (I keep trying)
to soothe the savage sounds in my mind (I keep trying)
Saying I've fallen too far behind (I keep trying)
From the places I wanna go

I don't think it ever ends
This feeling that you'll never win
Guess I don't mind it
'Cause I just keep trying

I've been down this low before
Fighting in a thousand wars
Not sure how far the line is
Hoping to find it

I just keep trying
I just keep trying
I just keep trying
Not sure how far the line is
