lyrics

I’ve tried to be perfect/ I've learned that I can’t
That don’t mean I’m a failure/ I’m just a trying man
I know I’m sarcastic/ I’m dryer than paint
I’ll always been a sinner/ but now I’m trying to be a saint

So don’t give up on me yet
I’m working hard at paying oh these god damn debts

There’s things in my life that I wish I could forget
I live one breathe at a time one moment to the next
There’s things in my life that I know I’ve done wrong
The futures rolling brite and it's rolling rite along

I won’t give up on me yet
I’m working hard at putting down these god damn cigarettes paying off these debts

I’m a lot more than I thought I would be
There’s a lot more I wanna believe
I’ve lost a lot of my memories
There's still some I don’t wanna keep
I sing these songs that fill my heart
and my lungs up with hope
I've never eaten and loved so well
Since I've had a home

Now why would I
Wanna be anybody else
So I’ll try/ to always be myself.
