Lyrics
[Verse 1]
I woke up early
Tried to beat the day
Packed my lunch in a cracked old box
And sent my hope away
The rent text came first
Then the gas tank blinked
I kept my smile on at the store
While my whole life shrank
[Pre-Chorus]
I do the right thing
I try, I try
But the math keeps laughing
At me every time
[Chorus]
I’m doing my best
That’s the hard truth
I keep on building
It falls right through
It’s getting better
They say it will
But the bill stack grows
And I am still
I’m doing my best
That’s the hard truth
[Verse 2]
My shoes are splitting
By the grocery line
I trade a full cart for a few small things
And a plastic smile
My hands stay busy
My head stays low
I keep one coin for a better day
But it never grows
[Pre-Chorus]
I do the right thing
I try, I try
But the world keeps asking
For more than I’ve got inside
[Chorus]
I’m doing my best
That’s the hard truth
I keep on building
It falls right through
It’s getting better
They say it will
But the bill stack grows
And I am still
I’m doing my best
That’s the hard truth
[Bridge]
I know the weather
Can turn around
I know that spring can find a crack
In frozen ground
But I get tired
I get worn thin
When every door I knock on
Shuts me out again
[Chorus]
I’m doing my best
That’s the hard truth
I keep on building
It falls right through
It’s getting better
They say it will
But the bill stack grows
And I am still
I’m doing my best
That’s the hard truth

Style
Indie folk-pop with fingerpicked guitar, brushed snare, and a slow pulsing bass; verse keeps it intimate and brittle, pre-chorus opens with stacked harmonies and a rising acoustic run, chorus lands wider with doubled lead vocal and soft gang oohs. Use tape hiss, a reversed guitar swell into each chorus, and a final lift with glockenspiel sparkles. Mix is warm, close-mic, and quietly wounded., sad, world
