about

This was the very first song that inspired this new project- because after I wrote this one, I realized I wanted/needed to write more & more to soothe myself, and someday soothe you. This was the one that gave me immediate relief, and my heart the sigh/comfort/rest it had been longing for. I sure hope it reassures you the way it reassured me too.

lyrics

Lyrics:
I’m gonna try; I’m gonna try to hard
I’ll try not to let you down. I’ll try not to break you heart.
I’m gonna give; I’ll give this my best shot
Pray that God fills you in; all the ways that I cannot

CHORUS
But I’m gonna fail. I’m just too flawed.
I’m gonna feel, I’ve dropped the ball
I’m gonna give; give you my all
But even my best, even my best
Won’t be good enough

I’m gonna teach; Teach you how to be yourself
In a world that tries with all its might
To tempt us to be someone else
I’m gonna hope, that it comes as no surprise
That dreams will sometime let you down,
And love requires compromise

CHORUS
But I’m gonna fail; I’m just too flawed.
I’m gonna feel, I’ve dropped the ball
I’m gonna give; give you my all
But even my best, even my best
Won’t be good enough

I’m gonna wonder; what you really think about
Too afraid of telling me, too ashamed to let it out
