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 in that I had fight through every day
Tryna numb the pain, drink it all away
Smoke another strain, didn't know myself
I'm not gonna tell you it's okay (It's okay)
Or to not complain (Not complain)
Or that it's a phase (It's a phase)
But you're not insane
Even when your back's up against the wall
Even when you're down and almost out
When it looks the worst and getting worse
Still alive, you can always try
Even when your back's up against the wall
Even when your light is burning out
When it looks the worst and getting worse
Still alive, you 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 have 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 (It's okay)
Or to not complain (Not complain)
Or that it's a phase (It's a phase)
But you're not insane
Even when your back's up against the wall
Even when you're down and almost out
When it looks the worst and getting worse
Still alive, you can always try
Even when your back's up against the wall
Even when your light is burning out
When it looks the worst and getting worse
Still alive, you can always try
I've been knocked down so many times
I've been all blue so many times
I've been knocked down so many times, so many times, so many times
I've been knocked down so many times
I've been knocked down so many times
I've been knocked down so many times, so many times, so many times
I've been knocked down so many times
I've been knocked down so many times
I've been knocked down so many times, so many times, so many times
