Keep On Trying

I can't seem to put my heart into words
And that's all I've ever wanted to do
It's tough when you're the one stuck in your way
And you can't figure out how to fix it

It's time I put my skills to the test
Go out of my way and try
Even when it gets hard
I'm not gonna quit
I'm gonna keep on trying

I know my own limitations
I won't let anyone else tell me otherwise
This is something I have to do for me
The reason is within itself

Yet how do I make this happen
It's not like it comes naturally
I have no idea what it takes
To be the person I want to be
With every step I take I'm falling
Into the darkness that consumes
For the first time in a long time
I'm trying to get out

And every moment that happens to me
I will not take for granted
I will use my mistakes wisely
As a guide to keep on trying
