Try

I don't know if I can milk it
But I'm gonna try, I'm gonna try
I don't know if I can make it
But just watch me try, watch me try
When it feels like all my chances end in empty sighs
I remember the only that I can lose is pride
And you know I got to try
Even though my heart is on the line
Even if I'm broken on the inside
There's nothing I won't do to make it right
You know, you know I got to try
All I know is nothing certain
So I'm gonna try, I'm gonna try
It's only myself that I'm hurting
If I don't try, if I don't try
When it feels like all my hopes and dreams are shattered into dust
I remember that the only thing I have to do is trust
And you know I got to try
Even though my heart is on the line
And even if I'm broken on the inside
There's nothing I won't do to make it right
You know, you know I got to try
Even if I'm stopped at every turn
Even if I lose it, crash and burn
I won't quit until your love I've earned
You know, you know I got to try
We don't need anyone to tell us this is golden
I can see that there are diamonds in your eyes tonight
Don't need anyone to tell us to keep open
We'll open up, we'll open up our wings and fly
Even though our hearts are on the line
And even if we're broken on the inside
There's nothing we won't do to win this fight
You know, you know we got to try
Even if we're stopped at every turn
Even if we lose it, crash and burn
We won't quit until our love we've earned
You know, you know we've got to try
