“Trying to Be Better”

Verse 1

I’ve been looking in the mirror late at night

Seeing every wrong, every broken fight

I know I hurt you more than I ever meant to do

And I carry every word I never told the truth

I was lost in my own ways, chasing things that didn’t matter

Didn’t see the damage till my world was shattered

Now I’m standing here with nothing left to hide

Just a heart that’s learning how to try

Pre-Chorus

I can’t erase the past, I know it’s true

But I’m learning how to be someone new

Chorus

I’m sorry for the pain I caused you, every tear you cried

I was blind, I was broken, I was wasting all our time

I’m working on myself, even when it’s hard to do

Trying to be the man I should’ve been for you

I know words don’t fix it all, but I swear I’m trying too

I’m changing every day, hoping someday you’ll see

That I’m becoming who I was meant to be

Verse 2

I’ve been learning how to sit with my mistakes

Not run away, not hide behind my shame

Every step forward feels heavy but it’s real

And for the first time, I’m learning how to heal

I don’t expect forgiveness overnight

I just hope you see I’m fighting for what’s right

Pre-Chorus

I can’t undo the hurt I caused before

But I’m not that person anymore

Chorus

I’m sorry for the nights I made you cry

For every promise I let die

I’m doing the work, I’m facing the truth

Trying to be someone worthy of you

I know trust takes time to grow

But I’m planting seeds and letting go

Of who I was, to be someone new

I’m changing, I swear I’m trying too

Bridge

If you could see inside my heart tonight

You’d see regret, and hope, and a will to fight

I don’t want to be the reason you’re in pain

I want to be the proof that people can change

Final Chorus

I’m sorry for the scars I left behind

For every moment I crossed the line

I can’t promise perfection, that’s not who I’ll be

But I promise effort, honesty, and real change in me

If you ever doubt my heart, just look at what I do

I’m becoming better, step by step, it’s true

I’m not who I was, I’m breaking through

I’m trying…

I’m really trying…

For you
