I'm trying not to do anything that would upset you
I'm trying to hold my ground
I'm trying to be okay with the situation
Even when everything's going down

I'm trying to stay strong
Trying not to cry
Because that makes you angry
To see the dissapointment
In my eyes

I'm trying to stay happy
Trying to stay alive
But it's so hard
When you have to learn to say goodbye

I'm trying to shun the silence
I'm trying to hold it in
Trying to make it go away
So I don't commit a sin

Trying is a strong word
That's hard for me to understand
Because the little things that push me
Push trying off the edge
