I don't know how long I can hold, but I keep on holdin' strong
And I know it won't be long, cause nobody's perfect
And why I feel so worthless, but I keep on workin
'Cause I know I deserve this
I know exactly how you're feelin
And why are you just dreamin'
I feel crushed up against the ceiling
One day we're gonna make it, one day might show the world
And I will see my friends again to tell them where I've been
And I will show the world that I deserve this
I've been workin', really workin' 9 to 5
And I've been thinkin' in my mind, Lord give me a sign
I've changed, but the pain's still leakin' from my eyes
I turn the page, but the same thing, stop from flyin
I gotta run it up, turn it up, ready to go
Stay strapped up, packed up, I carry the load
And that's the only thing that's makin' me cold
And this night I'll go
'Cause I know I deserve this
I know exactly how you're feelin
And why I feel so worthless, but I keep on workin
'Cause I know I deserve this
I know exactly how you're feelin
And why are you just dreamin'
I feel crushed up against the ceiling
One day we're gonna make it, one day might show the world
And I will see my friends again to tell them where I've been
And I will show the world that I deserve this
I've been workin', really workin
And I've been thinkin' in my mind, Lord give me a sign
I've changed, but the pain's still leakin' from my eyes
I turn the page, but the same thing, stop from flyin
And I know it won't be long
'Cause nobody's perfect
Nobody's perfect
And why I feel so worthless
Why I feel so worthless
But I keep on workin
Keep on workin
'Cause I know I deserve this
'Cause I know I deserve this
Yeah
Don't know how to feel
And that's all my life, just keepin' it real
I need time to heal
From all the heartbreaks that I can't seal
Jesus come and take the wheel
They ain't keepin' any part of the deal
I've been out here fightin' demons
You know I got my shell
It's been a rough ride
I seen a lot of different things through these brown eyes
But it don't stop my grind
'Cause one of these days gon' see me shine
See me shinin' bright
In that limelight
They don't know what I've been through
I had to sacrifice
A lot of sleepless nights
I do what I gotta do
To reach a different high
I gotta move on
I gotta push on
I gotta be strong
Oh
Mmm
Mmm
Mmm
Mmm
Mmm
Mmm
Mmm
