Try
Mandy Harvey Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I don't feel the way I used to
The sky is grey much more than it is blue
But I know one day I'll get through
And I'll take my place again

So I will try
So I will try
I don't love the way I need to
You need more and I know that much is true
So I'll fight for our breakthrough
And I'll breathe in you again

If I would try
If I would try

There is no one for me to blame
'Cause I know the only thing in my way
Is me

I don't live the way I want to
That whole picture never came into view
And I'm tired of getting used to
The day

So I will try
So I will try




If I would try
If I will try

I’m a guy, I’m 23 years old, and I’m completely deaf in my left ear. I’ve been playing the piano and drums since I was about 10 years old and Mandy is such a huge inspiration to me. She’s a beautiful, mesmerizing, phenomenal girl who I truly look up to! This song is beautiful! ❤️
