S’been so long since you got a break
(Seems the) wind comes in (and starts) knocking down everything you make
Got no pillow. Got no bed. You never get to/no rest
Don’t seem right you up all night looking for what’s left
Sometimes it seems like the world hits you square
On the chin. Ain’t nothing you can do but laying there
Your head starts to spin. You think you’ll never win, or put yourself back in(to) place
All you can do is put on a brave face
All you can do is put on a brave face
All you can do is put on a brave face
Hands shaking, you clench your fists so tight
Hurt so deep, (ain’t) nothing seem(s) right
Asking why to empty walls in an empty house
Praying hard for the sun, but all you see/get is clouds
Sometimes the world, it’s gonna get you down
Something or somebody turns your whole scene upside-down
(Ain’t) no use crying a single tear. No one to hear. Such a pity. Such a waste.
Gotta get up, put your two feet on the floor
Try to shake it off, and ask ‘em for some more
Gotta pull yourself up, [open up the shades/get back in the race]
Hold/lift your head up, and face the new day.
But…
Wanna give up, it gets so tough
How much can one man take before he’s had enough?
[Rain on window/Tears on your face] leave tracks in the grime
Take away the pain, and you’re just doing time
Sometimes the world catches you right in it’s sights
The weight comes down, a thousand pounds. The sky turns black as night
You wait in line ‘til closing time, but you’ve still got an empty plate
