Tryin' from Unreliable Narrator by Average Joey

I've been tryin' to love myself
but all I can muster is shame
I may never be granted forgiveness
from all these people that I've caused pain
I've been tryin' to quiet my brain
so I can listen to my heart
Goddamn it is hard but I'm trying to change

Ive been tryin' to write this song for my entire life
one to express this weight in my chest
one to make you feel how I feel when I hear endless Mike
if I can capture a feeling and you can relate
we both my be granted relief
It's hard to keep livin but it's worth it I believe

I've been trying to learn and grow but it's easier said than done
I wanna be a better person and make amends
sometimes I'd like to be hurled directly into the sun
my white knuckled fist is losing it's grip
and when all is lost I can see
the only hand you can hold is the hand that's empty
