Alveary Days

(Verse 1) I wake up every morning with a promise in my heart, Gonna try to do better, gonna make a brand new start. But the shadows of my failures, they’re never far behind, Every step I take, they’re creeping in my mind. (Chorus) I'm just a boy trying to be good, Doing everything I should, But the world keeps breaking me apart. No matter how I try, I can't deny, I'm falling short every time, With a broken, aching heart. (Verse 2) I see the disappointment in their eyes every day, The weight of expectations slowly eats my soul away. I reach out for redemption, but it slips through my hands, Like grains of sand, I can't make them understand. (Chorus) I'm just a boy trying to be good, Doing everything I should, But the world keeps breaking me apart. No matter how I try, I can't deny, I'm falling short every time, With a broken, aching heart. (Bridge) Every night I pray for strength to find a way, To be the man they need, to make it through the fray. But every dream is shattered by the dawn's harsh light, Left alone with all my fears, another endless fight. (Chorus) I'm just a boy trying to be good, Doing everything I should, But the world keeps breaking me apart. No matter how I try, I can't deny, I'm falling short every time, With a broken, aching heart. (Outro) Maybe someday I'll find a way, To rise above, to heal and stay, But for now, I'm just a boy in the dark, Trying to mend my broken, aching heart.
