Why I Try

[Verse 1]
Interesting how you’ve changed my life
I can definitely say just in time
I doubted if I’d be here tomorrow
I wallowed neck deep in sorrow
If all we are living for is dying
Then tell me what is the point of trying
Inside, I died
It wasn’t so good to be alive
Days were slow and nights unending
My will to survive, I kept defending
With lies, I’d buy
Some time with my subconscious mind

[Refrain 1]
I’d find at times
I’d play the role to hide behind
I knew through it all I’d see things
For what they are and this would free mе
From life and strife
I’m asking myself why am I alivе
I kept it going in spite of your dealings
I only know what I am feeling

[Verse 2]
1/15/96, on this day
You came in my life and slowly changed me
Your eyes were mine
That day is when I realized
That what we are living for is something
Like watching you grow without corrupting
Your mind or life
I’m not gonna screw things up this time

[Refrain 2]
That’s why I try
To leave the ways I’d left behind
A new groove has taken wing
Inside of me, changing everything
I kept on going though I don’t feel good
I only know that I finally understood
Where I’m going and why I feel this way
Won’t you leave me if I don’t say that I might

[Outro]
Might
