It's been a long road

I've walked upon

It's been a dizzy haze

Of mistakes I've made

If you knew half of it

You'd wonder how I'm here

But when life knocks you down

You get up and fight again

It's been a long time

Since I saw the sun rise

But just this morning

When I couldn't sleep

I watched it come

Through teary eyes

It's been a heavy day

A heavy heart I keep

It's been a year now

No more tears to weep

If you knew half of it

You'd wonder how I'm here

But when life knocks you down

You get back up and fight again

It's been hard to cope

These last few months

It's been years

Since I had escape

I live this madness

I awake to nightmares

If you knew half of it

You'd wonder how I'm here

But when life knocks you down

You get up and fight again

Yeah you get up and fight again

...

If you knew half of it

You'd wonder how I'm here

But when life knocks down

You get up and fight again

It's been a while now

Since I've been okay

And it's hard today

To keep my head together

Maybe if I rest my weary self

Maybe if I cry it out

I'll feel okay

Don't know what to say

I guess I've changed

Used to be a patient person

Used to light up people's day

Guess those times are over

Long ago flew away

Guess I'll be this way forever

It's how I feel today

If you knew half of it

you'd wonder how I'm here

But when life knocks you down

You get up and fight again

Get up and fight again

Yeah don'tcha!
