Trying To Be Him (For You). ((Gritty))

Lyrics

(Intro)

Yeah…
Ayy…
Look…

(Verse 1)

I been fightin’ demons, tryna bury who I was (yeah)
Cold nights, hard liquor, I was numb to love (uh)
Said I ain’t need nobody, I was lyin’ to myself (facts)
Every time you came around, I felt somethin’ else (damn)
I done hurt good people, I admit my wrongs (my bad)
Carried all this anger, had it in my songs (grr)
But you see the good in me I never seen (never)
Now I’m tryna clean my soul, keep my record clean (on God)

(Pre-Chorus)

I know I ain’t perfect, I been movin’ reckless (yeah)
But for you I swear I’m learnin’ all my lessons (I am)
(Chorus)
I’m tryna be a better man for you (for you)
Even when my past try pull me back, I push through (push through)
I ain’t never felt a love this true (this true)
Got me changin’ all my ways, yeah it’s all for you (all for you)
I’m tryna be him, I’m tryna be right (right)
I’m tryna love you without all the fights (no fights)
If I lose you, I might lose my life (my life)
So I’m changin’ everything tonight (tonight)

(Verse 2)

I was lost in the streets, had my heart on freeze (cold)
Trust issues deep, brought me to my knees (damn)
Every time you cry, it be killin’ me inside (hurt)
I don’t wanna be the reason that you traumatized (nah)
I been prayin’ for a sign, you the one I got (amen)
Had to slow it down, I was movin’ hot (too fast)
Now I’m thinkin’ ‘bout forever, not just right now (right now)
Tryna build a real love, not a lifestyle (real)

(Pre-Chorus)

I know I done crossed lines, I regret it (I do)
But I’m changin’, baby girl, don’t forget it (don’t)
(Chorus)
I’m tryna be a better man for you (for you)
Even when my past try pull me back, I push through (push through)
I ain’t never felt a love this true (this true)
Got me changin’ all my ways, yeah it’s all for you (all for you)
I’m tryna be him, I’m tryna be right (right)
I’m tryna love you without all the fights (no fights)
If I lose you, I might lose my life (my life)
So I’m changin’ everything tonight (tonight)

(Bridge)

If I fall, I get back up, I ain’t quit (won’t quit)
For your love, I’ll go to war, that’s legit (on God)
I ain’t who I was before, I’m improved (I’m him)
All these scars on my heart, but you soothe (you do)
(Outro)
Yeah… I’m tryna be better… (better)
Not just for me… for you… (for you)
Don’t give up on me… (don’t)
I’m still fightin’… (yeah)
