Try To Keep Trying

Will it even matter......
 if I try again
Should I decide to walk that path 
I don’t know where to begin

It seems I’ve been trying 
To run away for so long 
I don’t know how to stop myself
Or if I still belong

But I do know if I don’t start trying
I’m going to lose it all
And there’ll be no recovering
From that far of a fall

So as I stand here in this moment
Wondering what to do
The only thing I’m sure of 
Is to keep my eyes on you 

You are my sole foundation
The one I’ve counted on
So I hope I get it right 
Before this chance is gone
