about

A song not about achieving, not about being where you need to be or having what you need to have, not about succeeding - but trying. About knowing the depths that effort has taken you but celebrating it regardless.

lyrics

I’ve been moaning,
Thinking of slowing
My tyres are worn thin by my
Will to keep going

I’ve tried to make it
Idolised the heights and the fights that would break me
And I’ve cried with nobody’s arms to embrace me
But oh what a waste it would be had I not
Honey replace me if I stop, trying

I’m lost, I’m starting to hate
These folks around me I’m getting frustrated
I have a wish, to be right there with you
I know though, it must wait

I’ve tried to make it
Idolised the heights and the fights that would break me
And I’ve cried with nobody’s arms to embrace me
But oh what a waste it would be had I not
Honey replace me if I stop, trying

/ Bridge /
All my mistakes have overgrown
I should have left fate and made my own
Now I’m a thousand miles from home
But honey replace me if I don’t
Yeah honey just leave me if I don’t, keep trying
