Tryin' Ain't Enough

I killed the headlights as I pulled in the drive

Then I checked my eyes in the dashboard lights

And I shook my head here we go again

It's a tired old two step nearly night on night

We just shuffle 'round the truth 'til the morning light

Comes again, that old song never ends

Is there any hope in makin' up

Can these broken hearts just fall back in love

I've been workin' I've been tryin' like hell

Oh, but tryin' ain't enough

I've leaned on some buddies, the ones I can count

You've been hangin' our dirty laundry all over town

I just don't understand, am I that bad a man

I'll lie on that couch I'll lay it on the line

I'll face those demons a thousand times

It that's what it takes, there ain't no higher stakes

Is there any hope in makin' up

Can these broken hearts just fall back in love

I've been workin' I've been tryin' like hell

Oh, but tryin' ain't enough

Lately you've been scarce, lately we've been alone

Our baby girl keeps askin' when you're comin' home

And I just shake my head I can't make her understand

Still I'm hangin' on yes I'm diggin' in

I'll be right here 'til the bitter end

Why won't you stay, I'll never walk away

Is there any hope in makin' up

Can these broken hearts just fall back in love

I've been workin' I've been tryin' like hell

Oh, but tryin' ain't enough
