So many times I've been here before
It's all too familiar and I hate keeping score
Sometimes I win and sometimes I lose
But you don't know how it feels until you've walked in my shoes
How many rounds can I go, will I ever grow tired
Will I just give up the easy way, or will I fight until I'm expired
I know it sounds crazy, some think it's just a game
Putting in the effort, will take away my blame
When the failures beat me down
When it feels like like I will drown
I get up, look around, and shout
I might've lost this round
But don't count me out
Sometimes I feel like the cover of a book
Because you judge me by the way that I look
It's not fair and it makes me feel bad
It's just mean and really kind of sad
When I see you looking at me
I think you're thinking the worst of me
Maybe it's not always what it seems
Sometimes I'm my own f*cking worst enemy
When the failures beat me down
When it feels like like I will drown
I get up, look around, and shout
I might've lost this round
But don't count me out
Emotions rise and fall
Like the seasons cycling through
In the winds I try to stand tall
Are the reflections deceiving you?
When the failures beat me down
When it feels like like I will drown
I get up, look around, and shout
I might've lost this round
But don't count me out
