Lyrics

[I’LL TRY AGAIN TOMORROW]

[INSTRUMENTAL INTRO — SOFT PIANO, CELLO, WARM STRINGS]

[VERSE 1 — QUIET, CLOSE VOCAL]

Some words got heavy in the room tonight,
Nothing anybody planned.
Maybe no one meant to hurt me,
Maybe no one understands.

But something found an old wound
I thought I’d left behind,
And suddenly the walls came closing in
On a tired and troubled mind.

[PRE-CHORUS]

I know this feeling doesn’t own me.
I know I’ve made it through before.
But knowing that don’t make it easy
When I’m too tired to fight anymore.

[CHORUS — EMOTIONAL, BUILDING]

So I’ll try again tomorrow,
Tonight I’ve done all I can do.
I’ll close my eyes and let the darkness
Give way to something new.

I’m not walking out on living,
I’m just worn down to the bone.
Maybe morning brings some sunlight,
Maybe I won’t feel so alone.

I don’t have to fix my whole life tonight.
I just have to make it through.
So I’ll rest my heart until the morning…
And tomorrow, I’ll try anew.

[VERSE 2]

Depression has a way of whispering
That the night will never end,
Taking one bad hour and telling you
You’ll never smile again.

But I’ve heard that voice enough times
To know it doesn’t tell the truth.
The darkest thoughts can feel like mountains,
Then daylight changes the view.

[PRE-CHORUS]

Sometimes strength is simply saying,
“I’ve got nothing left tonight.”
Sometimes courage means surrendering
To sleep until the morning light.

[CHORUS — BIGGER]

So I’ll try again tomorrow,
Tonight I’ve done all I can do.
I’ll close my eyes and let the darkness
Give way to something new.

I’m not walking out on living,
I’m just worn down to the bone.
Maybe morning brings some sunlight,
Maybe I won’t feel so alone.

I don’t have to fix my whole life tonight.
I just have to make it through.
So I’ll rest my heart until the morning…
And tomorrow, I’ll try anew.

[BRIDGE — STRINGS RISE, VOCAL GROWS]

And to anybody listening
Who’s had a night like mine,
You don’t have to solve tomorrow
Before you close your eyes.

You can hurt and still keep hoping.
You can bend and not give in.
Sometimes getting through the darkness
Is where tomorrow starts again.

[KEY CHANGE — FINAL CHORUS, SOARING VOCAL]

I’LL TRY AGAIN TOMORROW,
TONIGHT I’VE DONE ALL I CAN DO.
I’LL LET THESE TIRED EYES CLOSE GENTLY
AND TRUST THE MORNING TO COME THROUGH.

I’m still here and I’m still trying.
There are better days I’ve known.
And one hard night can’t take away
Every seed of hope I’ve grown.

No, I don’t have to fix my whole life tonight.
There’s nothing more I have to prove.
I’ll give this weary heart some quiet…

And tomorrow…

I’ll try again.

Tomorrow…

I’ll try again.
