Well, the world all around me is closing in
And I can't break out, and I can't break in
And no matter where I look I cannot find a friend
But I know a better day is gonna come again
So I try
I try, I try, hold on
Up above, I try
Well, the world is a hustle and love is a shame
You gotta give up your pride just to get in the game
And it ain't easy when you're living this way
Gotta do what you can just to get through the day
So I try
I try, I try, oh no
Up above, I try
It can tear you apart
It is what it is
And it can break your heart
You get what you get
Cause it's a long way from here to the end
So don't fall apart
Don't fall apart, no
Don't fall apart
Don't fall apart, no
I can't fall apart
Won't fall apart, oh
I could tell you my story, tell you where I've been
All the misery I made and how I still repent
My craving for redemption that'll never relent
Every reason that outnumbers why I should forgive
But I'll try
I'll try, I'll try
Oh Lord up above, I'll try
Oh, I'll try
I'll try, I'll try
Oh Lord up above, I'll try
