lyrics

I’ve never felt this tired in my life
I’m working hard but I just can’t get it right
With bloodshot eyes and ragged breath I stumble through the day
Forcing myself to forge ahead but feeling stuck in place

We all have our highs and lows
When we feel like we’re on our own
But don’t let the darkness take you
These are the times that’ll make or break you

I’m battered and I’m bruised tonight
But when they’re closing in to steal my light
I’ll put my back against the wall and fight
Yeah I think I’m gonna make it

Sometimes I feel like giving up
The pressure pushing down is just too much
And every time I fall behind I think about tapping out
But I’ll grit my teeth ‘til they grind away
Yeah I might fall back but I’ll never back down

I’m battered and I’m bruised tonight
But when they’re closing in to steal my light
I’ll put my back against the wall and fight
Yeah I think I’m gonna make it

And your light’s gonna dim from time to time
But don’t let it burn out and you might find
Just a little bit of strength to help survive
Through the days when their words might cut and sting
And the nights when they laugh and the pain it brings
But they don’t know you, they don’t know a thing
And when you get up, you’re gonna come up swinging

I’m battered and I’m bruised tonight
But when they’re closing in to steal my light
I’ll put my back against the wall and fight
Yeah I think I’m gonna make it

I feel like shit, I’m filled with doubt
But when I sing these songs I’ll think about
How I might be down but I’m still not out
Yeah I think I’m gonna make it
