Try
Simple Plan Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I've made more mistakes than I can even count,
But things are gonna be so different now,
You make me wanna turn it all around.
I think of all the games that I have played,
The unsuspecting people that I've heard,
Deep inside I know I don't deserve,
But I'll try, to never disappoint you,
I'll try, until I get it right,
I've always been so reckless, all of my life,
But I'll try,
For you.
I've been the best at letting people down,
I've never been the kind of person you can trust,
But if you can give me half a chance I'll show,
How much I can fix myself for you.
And I'll try, to never disappoint you,
I'll try, until I get it right,
I've always been so reckless, all of my life,
But I'll try...
This time I wont make up excuses (I don't wanna lose you),
Don't give up on me and I'll prove that,
I can do this!
I'll try, to never disappoint you,
I'll try, until I get it right (till I get it right),
I've always been so reckless, all of my life,
But I'll try,
For you.
(Never been the best at honesty, you know that you can never count on me,)
(But if you give me half a chance I'll show, there is nothing that I wouldn't do for you!)
I've always been so reckless, all of my life,
But I'll try,
For you.

I can't really blame my mom all the one night stands and men that I f ucked I could of told them I was gay like I did with Alex because I didn't want another Otis situation
My social life Christy and I best friends and I came out over a year ago that I was gay
I really repent to God for that because I got married as a friend love not intimate
Basically my mom is why I chose
Marriage but my husband knew I was gay he doesn't care he love me so I could live my life
I would change my life for the world only for God above because he bless me with you
Genuine love
Arizona couple weeks
Looking forward to meeting cubs
That's ways away
Love you
