Stop adding it up
We did all that we could
Left it all on the field
It doesn’t always make sense
Who comes out ahead

In the end
If I’m left with nothing
Rest assured
It’s not for lack of trying
Not for lack of trying

Love should be enough
We did all that we could 
I don’t want to give up 
It doesn’t always make sense
What the heart says

In the end
If I’m left with nothing
Rest assured
It’s not for lack of trying

We did all that we could
We did all that we could
We did all that we, all that we could

In the end
If I’m left with nothing
Rest assured
It’s not for lack of trying

Trying

I first heard this song through John Prine, and I guess my version is closer to his than Blaze's. Blaze Foley wrote this song and it sums up his life pretty well, I believe. Fits in pretty good with mine as well. 
"start talking again, when I know what to say"
That about sums it up. 
Cheers. 

Clay Pigeons - Blaze Foley cover

Stay

This was inspired by someone I know who recently lost his wife, and what that internal struggle must be like as he goes through his daily routines. 

lyrics:
Starched collar on a clean white shirt
he's heading off to work again. 
Thirty years at the same location,
long-term retirement plan. 
He keeps a picture of her on the wall,
she's smiling on vacation.
He never liked his face in that picture,
thought he looked mad, or irritated. 

Old habits die hard 
and a change - is never easy. 

Goes in early and he always stays late
keeping busy keeps the loneliness at bay. 
Always telling someone corny jokes,
likes to keep up appearances.
Picks up the phone to check in with her,
forgot how long she's been gone. 

Old habits die hard
and a change - is never easy

Takes down the picture
wants to look at her.
Wants to let her know he'll be fine

Twenty minutes out of every day
likes to kick back and close his eyes.
Always dreams of the same old day
and in that picture, he always smiles

Old habits die hard
Old habits die hard
Old habits die hard
and a change - is never easy.
