Trying To Be Brave
I'm trying to change for the better
I'm trying so hard to be brave
I'm trying to fix these habits
That will put me in an early grave
I've struggled for years and years
I've grown to hate the word "try"
Because each time I've used it
It always felt like a lie
But I haven't given up yet
Even though I've tried and failed
I guess I've succeeded at something
Because my resolve prevailed
Some people think it's so easy
But it's easier said then done
When motivation is fleeting
And I'm trapped in an endless rerun
But I'm going to be brave
I'm taking one day at a time
I'm taking baby steps
Toward this uphill climb
