[Hook:]
I try but sometimes I fail
Now I realize that I need your help
'Cause I can't make it all by myself
I need you, you, you , yeah!
I should know by now there's no way no
How I could live my life without you
Still I get caught up in myself
And talk to you less and less
And every time that I do
I come right back to you
Cause after all my mistakes
I know that I have to change
So I put my life in your hands
[Hook]
I wish I could undo some things that
I have done in my past
But I can't erase what's already
Taken place
So from now on I'll try to do my best
Cause after all my mistakes
I know that I have to change
So I put my life in your hands
[Hook]
Nobody wants to fall but we fall sometimes
Then you are there to catch us all
Every time you look beyond all my faults
'Cause you know I need another chance
To get it right you forgive me 'cause I try
[Hook]
