Try Again
Sophia Gripari Lyrics

I'm done picking up the pieces, waiting for the day to come
I'm tired of feeling broken and helpless, waiting for a change to happen on its own.

It's time I meet my inner demons now that I'm the only one
I need to confront my personal struggles now that I'm alone and responsible for my own actions.

You can't change that I've lost my way
Nobody else can fix my problems or change the fact that I'm struggling.

You can't hope that I'll come around
I can't rely on someone else to save me or fix my problems without putting in the effort myself.

I can't find the words to say I'm sorry that I let you down
I feel guilty for disappointing those I care about, but struggle to articulate my remorse.

My mama told me dry your tears
My mother taught me to overcome sadness and move on from pain.

And let your worries go
She taught me to release anxiety and focus on the present instead of ruminating on problems.

But I see the hurt she feels inside
However, I can tell that my mother is also struggling with my actions and their consequences.

All the pain that comes with the things I've done
I feel immense guilt and remorse for the negative effects of my actions.

But I'll try and try again
Despite my mistakes, I am determined to keep trying to improve and become a better person.

And I'll start by taking my past mistakes
My first step in self-improvement is acknowledging and taking responsibility for my past mistakes.

And live with them instead
Rather than dwelling on or denying my past, I will accept it and use it to inform my growth.

I've lost all my inhibition, never even asked for help
I've become reckless and self-destructive, unwilling to ask for or accept support from others.

Addictions always got me craving, even when I'm doing well
I struggle with addictive behaviors that persist even when I'm functioning relatively well.

And I don't need any sympathy
I don't want pity or coddling from others, even if I'm struggling.

And It'll take some time to figure out
I acknowledge that progress and growth take time and patience.
