lyrics

I TOOK A HIT FROM THE WORLD CAUSE IT PITCHED ME A FIT, AND I’VE JUST ABOUT HAD IT WITH ALL OF THIS SHIT / I TRIED TO CATCH ME A BREAK AND IT BROKE THROUGH MY GRIP, SO I’M CUTTING MY LOSSES AND LEARNING FROM THIS / I TOOK A HIT FOR A GIRL AND ALL I ENDED UP WITH WAS A HOLE IN MY HEART AND A PLUG THAT WON’T FIT / I GAVE HER ALL THAT I HAD AND THEN SHE THREW IT AWAY, AND LEFT IT IN THE DIRT TO DIG UP LATER SOMEDAY / I TRIED TO FIX MY MISTAKES BUT THE STAKES HAVE ME PINNED WAY TOO HARD TO GET OUT OF THE HOLE THAT I’M IN / I SHOULD’NT BE DRIVING BUT I’M TAKING THE CHANCE CAUSE NO ONE ELSE SHOULD FEEL THE NEED TO HAVE MY LIFE IN THEIR HANDS / I’VE TRUSTED WAY TOO MANY PEOPLE THAT NEVER GAVE BACK / WITH FOOT PRINTS ON MY CHEST I’LL TAKE A DEEP BREATH AND STRESS TO THE WORLD THAT I GAVE IT MY BEST / WITH FOOTPRINTS ON MY CHEST I’LL TAKE MY LAST BREATH AND YELL I GAVE YOU ALL THAT I HAD LEFT / I PACKED ALL OF MY THINGS AND LEFT THE LIFE I HAD BUILT TO PURSUE A NEW DREAM FAR AWAY FROM THE FILTH THAT HAD BEEN STUCK TO MY SKIN AND BEEN DRAGGING ME DOWN, I’VE HAD A MUCH CLEARER HEAD AFTER LEAVING THAT TOWN / NOW I’M ALL SETTLED IN AND THERES A VOID LEFT UNFILLED, AND ALL I DREAM OF IS HER AND MY FRIENDS IN THE HILLS / I CANT BELIEVE THAT I’M DREAMING OF HER STILL / I GUESS I FOUND ALL THE DOWNS OF BEING UP / IF EVERYTHING I’VE GOT WAS SWEPT OUT FROM UNDERNEATH MY FEET, I’D FIND ALL THE ANSWERS THAT I NEED TUCKED DEEP WITHIN MY SLEEP.
