Trying to be the man

“Trying to Be the Man”

We’ve had our nights where we both broke down,

Shouting words we can’t take back now.

But through the fire, through the pain,

Somehow your love still remains.

I’ve been chasing work just to pay the bills,

Some days I’m drowning, standing still.

Don’t know how, but I try my best,

Even empty-handed, you get the rest.

I know I fall short, I know I get it wrong,

But you’re the reason I’m holding on.

I might not get it right every time,

But I’m changing, rewriting my lines.

For my forever, my lover, my hand to hold,

I’m learning to love you better than before.

I’m trying to change, trying to be the man you deserve.

I’m not as book-smart as you are, that’s true,

But I’m streetwise, I can fight us through.

I can mend a car, rebuild a home,

I’ll never leave you to stand alone.

🎹 [Instrumental Break / Emotional Guitar Solo]

(A soaring melody, giving space to feel the weight of the words.)

The past behind me, the future ahead,

I’ll walk beside you till my last breath.

I might not get it right every time,

But I’m changing, rewriting my lines.

For my forever, my lover, my hand to hold,

I’m learning to love you better than before.

I’m trying to change, trying to be the man you deserve.

You deserve a steady fire when the nights turn cold,

A safe place to fall, a heart to hold.

And though I’ve failed, I’ll make you see,

The better man you bring out in me.

I might not get it right every time,

But I’m changing, rewriting my lines.

For my forever, my lover, my hand to hold,

I’m learning to love you better than before.

I’m trying to change, trying to be the man…

Trying to be the man you deserve.

Yeah, I’m trying…

Trying to be the man.
