Struggle
ÑÇÏãç¾Ashanti Lyrics

I couldn't fall asleep late last night
I was kept awake last night, unable to fall asleep because I was worried about us

Thinking what we had just might be all over baby
I was considering the possibility that our relationship might be coming to an end

And I don't know if you meant what you said
I don't know if you were truly sincere when you said that you were tired of trying and fighting

When you told me you was sick of trying, you was sick of fighting, crying, lying, didn't wanna do this again
I remember all the hurtful things you said when you claimed that you didn't want to continue trying in our relationship

We really said some things
We both uttered hurtful statements to each other in the heat of the moment

We really did some things
We both made mistakes in the past, which have led to resentment and pain in the present

We should've never did
We regret the actions we took that led to our current problems

And we both know it takes more just to apologize
We are aware that it's not enough to simply say sorry; we need to take meaningful actions to repair our relationship

But from what I'm feeling inside
Despite everything, I still have strong feelings for you

Boy I'm yours
I am committed to you

And boy you're mine
I expect you to be committed to me as well

And even if I said I was leaving babe
Even if I threatened to walk away from this relationship,

I couldn't picture no more you and me
I cannot imagine a life without you and our relationship

See I ain't perfect babe
I have flaws and make mistakes, just like you do

And you ain't perfect baby
I know that you are not perfect either

So listen to the realest thing I could say
Please believe me when I say this from my heart

Sometimes it's a struggle babe
I know that our relationship can be difficult at times

And it only hurts cause I love you baby
But the reason I am willing to endure the struggle is because I love you deeply

And for what it's worth
Despite everything, I still believe that our relationship is worth fighting for

I will struggle babe
I am willing to work through our difficulties and overcome them

Cause I wanna be in your life
Because I want to be a part of your life and I hope you want the same

I'ma keep trying
I promise to keep trying to make our relationship work

Over and over and over again and over again
I will keep putting in effort, even if it takes multiple attempts

See we done been together for a few years now
We have been in a committed relationship for several years

Ain't no way we just gon sit right here and throw it out
We cannot simply give up on our relationship without trying to work through our issues

See even if it's my mistake or if it's your mistake
Whether the fault lies with me or with you

And then we scream and shout
Even when we argue and get emotional

You gotta know I love you babe
You need to understand that my love for you is still strong

And I'ma show you babe that we could work this out
I am committed to finding a way to resolve our issues and strengthen our relationship

So many nights we would tear rooms up in this house
We have had many passionate arguments, even to the point of destroying our surroundings

We both know, we both know what is this about
Despite our struggles, we know that we love each other and want to make things work

When I look into your eyes
When I gaze into your eyes,

I'm in your heart and you are in mine
I feel an emotional connection with you, and I believe you feel the same

And I don't wanna be alone baby
I don't want to live my life without you

Cause you are everything I know baby
You are the foundation of my life, and I cannot imagine living without you

Se you're everything I need and you're everything I see and you're everything I feel and you're everything to me
You are my everything, my needs, my vision, my emotions, my world

Sometimes it's a struggle babe
I recognize that our relationship can be challenging at times

And it only hurts cause I love you baby
But I am willing to endure the pain for the sake of our love

And for what it's worth
Because I truly believe that our love is worth the effort

I will struggle babe
I will fight for us, no matter what it takes

Cause I wanna be in your life
Because I want to share my life with you

I'ma keep trying
I am committed to persevering and never giving up

Over and over and over again and over again
I will continue to put in effort and try as many times as necessary
