I’m tryin’ (By Airin)

V5

[Verse 1] I’ve been waking up in silence, Counting cracks up on the wall, Tryna patch up all these moments That I don’t remember at all. I smile for the mirror, But he don’t smile back these days, Just a stranger in my skin Tryna find his way. [Verse 2] My friends say I’ve been distant, Like I’m here but not quite there, I keep noddin’ like I’m listenin’ But I’m drowning in the air. The past keeps knockin’ loudly, And I never changed the locks, I’m tired of holdin’ secrets That are heavy as these thoughts. [Chorus] But I’m tryin’, Lord, I’m tryin’, To feel something real again. To stop lyin’, stop hidin’ Behind these paper-thin pretend. I’ve been broken, but I’m reachin’, For the woman I wanna be. And I’ll find myself again, Piece by piece. [Verse 3] I’ve been praying with my demons, Like they’re the only ones who stay, They whisper lies so sweetly I forget to look away. But there's fire in the ashes, And light beneath the pain, So I lace up all my shadows And walk into the rain. [Chorus] 'Cause I’m tryin’, Lord, I’m tryin’, To feel something real again. To stop lyin’, stop hidin’ Behind these paper-thin pretend. I’ve been broken, but I’m reachin’, For the woman I wanna be. And I’ll find myself again, Piece by piece. [Bridge] Some nights I fall apart, Some days I barely breathe, But every scar’s a story Of a war I didn’t leave. So I won’t fake perfection, Won’t chase who I’m not, This heart still beats with purpose Even when I forgot. [Final Chorus] Yeah, I’m tryin’, still I’m tryin’, To feel something real again. No more lyin’, no more hidin’, Let the healing now begin. I was broken, now I’m buildin’, With the pieces left in me. I’m gonna love myself again, Piece by piece. [Outro] Piece by piece… I’m coming back to me.
