[Verse 1] Alarm clock, 5 a.m. Another shot, here I go again Boys still sleeping in the dark You kiss me half-awake goodbye I know there’s more I oughta say But I just stumble through my mistakes [Chorus] Every heartbeat says don’t give up Just keep showing up For my wife and boys I fall short most every day But I ain’t done trying to be A better man with every heartbeat [Verse 2] You ask if I’m doing alright I say “yeah” like I always do Truth is I lose my cool too fast Still dragging ghosts I swore were through But every night before I sleep I wonder what my sons will keep [Chorus] Every heartbeat says don’t give up Just keep showing up For my wife and boys I fall short most every day But I ain’t done trying to be A better man with every heartbeat [Bridge] Maybe being strong Ain’t never breaking down It’s letting your family See you work it out [Final Chorus] Every heartbeat says there’s still time Time to mean the words I claim are mine So I’ll keep loving hard Till my last breath gives in If these boys learn one thing Lord, let it be A man still trying With every heartbeat
