Lyrics by Lily Bignell
Still Trying
Verse 1
I don't know when I lost my way
Maybe it happened day by day
I kept saying I'd be fine
While something in me stayed behind
I gave my time, I gave my heart
Tried to keep it all from falling apart
Kept showing up when I was worn
Trying to build something I believed in
Pre-Chorus
I kept telling myself, “Get up”
Even when I had nothing left
I thought if I just pushed harder
Maybe things would finally make sense
Chorus
Somewhere along the way
I lost the part of me
That used to wake up every morning
Believing in what I could be
I've been trying, I swear I have
But lately I don't know how to fight
I'm not giving up on everything
I'm just tired tonight
Verse 2
There were days I gave it all
Stayed up late just to make things work
Kept believing something would change
Even when I started losing faith
I don't regret the time I gave
Or all the things I tried to save
I just wish I knew back then
How tired I'd become in the end
Pre-Chorus
Everybody says, “Keep going”
Like it's easy when you're down
But they don't hear the thoughts inside
When nobody else is around
Chorus
Somewhere along the way
I lost the part of me
That used to wake up every morning
Believing in what I could be
I've been trying, I swear I have
But lately I don't know how to fight
I'm not giving up on everything
I'm just tired tonight
Bridge
Maybe I gave too much of myself
Trying to make everything alright
Maybe somewhere in all that giving
I forgot to ask if I was alright
I don't need another answer
I don't need somebody to blame
I just need to find that little spark
That made me get up every day
Final Chorus
Somewhere along the way
I lost the part of me
But I know he's still somewhere inside
Waiting to breathe
I don't have to fix it all tonight
I don't have to know what's next
Maybe taking one slow step forward
Is enough for me right now
Outro
I don't know when I'll feel okay
But I'll take tomorrow as it comes
For tonight, I'll just be honest
I'm tired... that's all.
I don't know when I lost my way
Maybe it happened day by day

Trying to build something I believed in
Pre-Chorus
I kept telling myself, “Get up”
Even when I had nothing left
I thought if I just pushed harder
Maybe things would finally make sense

Believing in what I could be
I've been trying, I swear I have
But lately I don't know how to fight
I'm not giving up on everything
I'm just tired tonight
