You've spent too long waiting on a change But it never came, did you wait in vain? I don't know your name, but I know you well I'm just like you and that I had to fight through every day Tryna numb the pain, drink it all away Spoke another string, didn't know myself I'm not gonna tell you it's okay, or that I complain Or that it's a phase, but you're not insane Even when your back's against the wall Even when you're down and won't stop When it looks the worst and getting worse Still I can always try Even when your back's against the wall Even when your life is burning out When it looks the worst and getting worse Still I can always try I know that it's hard, so don't get me wrong I don't want my words to be misheard Or to make it worse, but I've been around We've all got our own heavy cross to bear It's a metaphor, like I said before I can look at yours, cause I've been around I'm not gonna tell you it's okay, or that I complain Or that it's a phase, but you're not insane Even when your back's against the wall Even when you're down and won't stop When it looks the worst and getting worse Still I can always try Even when your back's against the wall Even when your life is burning out When it looks the worst and getting worse Still I can always try I've been knocked down many times I've been on blue many times I've been knocked down many times Many times, many times I've been knocked down many times I've been knocked down so many times I've been knocked down so many times
