One Last Try Lyrics

Give me one last try
Hold on for me
Believe my alibi
Keep strong
Don't set me free
Well this weakness makes me wrong
I'll show you I can be strong

And this time it is for real
I know the hurt I've made you feel
I won't let you down
No one else would have me 'round
You gave your love so honestly
Is heaven's grace too good for me

I know I've pushed my luck
So many times
I'm slippin' slowly now
Loosin' track, of my mind
Well this shadow I've become
Will step out to meet the sun

And this time it is for real
I know the hurt I've made you feel
I won't let you down
No one else would have me 'round
You gave your love so honestly
Is heaven's grace too good for me

And when the darkness comes
And I lose sight
Of the precious world
That you put right
You've the strength to pull me through
One last try I'm asking you

And this time it is for real
I know the hurt I've made you feel
But I won't let you down
No one else would have me 'round
You gave your love so honestly
Is heaven's grace too good for me

Things Can Only Get Better

Give me one last try
Hold on for me
Believe my alibi
Keep strong
Don't set me free
Well this weakness makes me wrong
I'll show you I can be strong

And this time it is for real
I know the hurt I've made you feel
I won't let you down
No one else would have me 'round 
You gave your love so honestly
Is heaven's grace too good for me

I know I've pushed my luck
So many times
I'm slippin' slowly now
Loosin' track, of my mind
Well this shadow I've become
Will step out to meet the sun

And this time it is for real
I know the hurt I've made you feel
I won't let you down
No one else would have me 'round 
You gave your love so honestly
Is heaven's grace too good for me

And when the darkness comes
And I lose sight
Of the precious world
That you put right
You've the strength to pull me through
One last try I'm asking you

And this time it is for real
I know the hurt I've made you feel
But I won't let you down
No one else would have me 'round 
You gave your love so honestly
Is heaven's grace too good for me

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.
