Verse I
My men ain’t my mistakes
Silly illusions misguiding me
Sorry, I can’t
Compete with you, I wanted to
Heartbreak over heartbreak
Mistake over mistake
Time after time I tried

Chorus
I keep trying, hoping, saving
Breaking, hoping, saving

Verse II
Until I’m black and blue
Leaving me lonely ain’t nothing new, dear
I do what I gotta do
Keeping my peace here, I still believe in

Trying, hoping,
Don’t you see I’m glowing?
Cry myself to sleep and I’ll be dancing in the morning, hmm
You wanted to break me
Might just call it growing
I always try to find a way to save myself

Chorus
I keep trying, hoping, saving
Breaking, hoping, saving
I keep trying, hoping, saving

Outro
Trying, hoping,
Don’t you see I’m glowing?
Cry myself to sleep and I’ll be dancing in the morning, hmm
You wanted to break me
Might just call it growing
I always try to find a way to save myself
