Let's Just Try
Date: September 19,2012

I'm trying to forgive the hurt
For all you've said and done
I'm trying hard to understand
Though my heart tells me to run

I'm trying hard to find a way
To lay down the grief and doubt
I'm trying hard, so very hard
To chase the demons out

I'm trying still, to turn a cheek
To forget the bitter blows
I'm trying now, with all my might
To rise above the snow

I'm really trying to accept your faults
And understand mine too
I'm really trying to make things right
We've still so much to do

I'm trying, trying to be strong
To bear the crippling weight
Trying hard to make a change
I hope it's not too late

I'll keep on trying, yes I will
As long as you try too
Because for me, it's worth the strife
To keep on loving you
