From day to day I know that I'm in all of your conversations
You never have anything good to say about me
That's ok cause everyone's entitled to their own opinions
Cause everyone's a critic, and even on your best days
Someone's got something bad to say-
Yet I ignore the things I hear, ignore the things I fear
And look past all that tries to bring me down
And I know that I don't have much I
Sacrifice a good life while I watch these bills keep adding
Up and I know that I'm not getting any younger as another
Year passes by-
I have to stop and wonder
If it's all really worth the struggle
Or that mirage of light I keep chasing at the end of the tunnel
Will get any brighter
Or will it just fade away the closer I get , the further it seems
From reaching my dreams
And I just don't know how much more I can
Take before I give up and throw it all away-

Hook-
When push comes to shove
You gotta hold on , you gotta be strong
And look for that light from above
Cause everyone's out to bring you down
And if you can't keep your head up
Then your lost-
I've seen better days been told better ways
How to live and how to give, it's relative
I walk with sedatives it's hell I live
And home is sweet, I'm killing myself softly
My reflections show deep infections
It's hard to be, I look at myself, I look at this life
And all I feel is pain, god help me start again
I gotta keep on, I gotta keep on pushin' cause I
Some how some way keep comin' up short
Like everyday my minds playin' tricks on me
Everybody loves sunny days but I prefer
Grey ones and long nights because when the
Day comes, it's just another 24 and I'm still num
Not so young I know what it takes, they say
Roll with the brakes and slip them ties with the fakes
I still get them shakes just thinkin' bout this
Ish right here two dub two maybe this gonna be
That year-

Bridge-
Everyone has to pay a price no matter what we sacrifice
I hope it's worth it nothing is for certain
