You can't say I never tried my best at life
I gave everything I had and sometimes twice
I'd find myself inside
These borrowed bricks of mine

Looking out for a better way
Hard times, only yesterday
But I told you that I'd make it, baby
Trials and tribulations, baby

You don't even have to worry anymore
Because I've found the key to
Open up the door
We don't even have to struggle anymore
Because I'd give you everything
You need and more
With these trials and tribulations, baby
Yeah

They don't know about the times
You sat and cried
They won't know about the times I had to lie
When I found myself at night
Sat trying to make things right

Looking out for a better way
Hard times, only yesterday
But I told you that I'd make it, baby
Trials and tribulations, baby

You don't even have to worry anymore
Because I've found the key to
Open up the door
We don't even have to struggle anymore
Because I'd give you everything
You need and more
With these trials and tribulations, baby
Yeah

You can't say I never tried my best at life
I gave everything I had and sometimes twice
I'd find myself inside
These borrowed bricks of mine

We had it rough, always in love
Told you that I'd make it, baby
Trials and tribulations, baby
We had it rough, always in love
Told you that I'd make it, baby
Trials and tribulations, baby
