Prompt / Lyrics
[Intro] [Violin sings Long and low] [Fingerpicked guitar eases in beneath] [Verse 1] I ain’t much for pretty speeches Words get tangled on my tongue But I’m up before that bitter sunrise Chasing down the man I ain’t yet become You see the part of me that’s hiding Under all this worn-out skin You say “breathe You’re still worth fighting” So I keep trying again and again (mm) [Chorus] I’m just trying to be the best I can for you Stumbling forward But I’m pulling through Every scar Every fear I walk into I’m just trying to be the best I can for you (for you, for you) [Verse 2] I get quiet when I’m hurting Turn my back Shut the door But you’re there Pacing in the hallway Bare feet on that creaking floor You don’t ask for some perfection Just an honest Steady hand So I’m learning how to listen Learning how to stay and stand (yeah) [Chorus] I’m just trying to be the best I can for you Breaking habits that I once called truth Every doubt Every lie I sift through I’m just trying to be the best I can for you (for you, for you) [Bridge] Some days I slip I slide I fall Hear that old voice say “you’ll lose it all” Then I feel your fingers lacing mine And it steadies my spine [Chorus] I’m just trying to be the best I can for you Not a hero Just a man who grew If it takes my whole life to break through I’ll keep trying to be the best I can for you (best I can for you, yeah) [Outro] [Violin returns Echoing the chorus melody] Deep breath Soft laugh “I’m still here with you”

rock, Slow-burn country rock ballad, male vocals. Strong, regal solo violin intro over sustained organ, then easing into intimate fingerpicked electric guitar with a deep, close-mic’d vocal that’s almost spoken. Verses stay low and conversational over minimal rhythm section, then drums and warm bass slide in to lift the chorus. Subtle slide guitar swells and stacked low harmonies build tension; final chorus blooms with wider reverb and a gritty, emotional ad-lib tail-out., strong, violin, vocal, deep, country rock
