Lyrics
[Opening verse]
I keep replaying the moments…
The words I didn’t say, the things I couldn’t fix
Still here, still carrying it all
[Verse 1]
You told me once I’d run myself into the ground
Trying to fix things that can’t be undone
You always knew how to get the best out of me
Even when I didn’t see it
Even when I pushed you away
[Pre-Chorus]
It weighs on me
Every word I didn’t say right
Still here
Still thinking about it
[Chorus] (with hooks):
I’m trying
I’m trying to forgive myself
The version of me that didn’t listen
Still here
The moments I carried too heavy
I’m letting some of it go
I’m trying…
I’m trying…
[Instrumental – 8 seconds – Full warm guitar, soft drums, bass, pads, subtle strings, and light vocal layering on chorus hooks. No lead vocals.]
[Verse 2]
You said, “One day you’ll understand why it hurt so much”
And I do now
It’s strange, the way silence can teach you things
I walk the same streets and sometimes I still look for you
Half expecting to see you there, reminding me of what I lost
[Pre-Chorus]
It weighs on me
How right you were
Still here
Trying to make sense of it
[Chorus] (with hooks):
I’m trying
I’m trying to forgive myself
The version of me that didn’t listen
Still here
The moments I carried too heavy
I’m letting some of it go
I’m trying…
I’m trying…
[Bridge] (conversation tone):
You’d say, “Don’t hold it all inside”
And I’d just nod, pretending I was fine
Now I catch myself saying the same words
To people who remind me of who I was
Still here
I’m trying…
[Chorus / Outro]
I’m trying
I’m trying to forgive myself
The version of me that didn’t listen
Still here
You always knew how to get the best out of me
I’m letting some of it go
[Outro – Instrumental Only – 10 seconds – Strip back to acoustic guitar + pads, gentle fade, soft echoes of chorus hooks or light humming.]
I’m trying…
I’m trying…
