Trying

I've been trying for so long
And this trying just goes on
As i keep trying to hold on
To my heart
To my heart
I've been waiting here for you
And the waiting still ain't through
Guess waiting for what the end may do
To my heart
To my heart
But you and i could still try be
Every hole and wish that we dared to dream
So i keep trying every day
And if hurt from trying gets in my way
Then that's the part i just try not to say
To my heart
To my heart
But you and i could still try to be
Every hole and wish we dared to dream
I've been trying for so long
And this trying just goes on
As i keep trying to hold on
To my heart
To my heart
