I am running with a heavy heart
It's like an anchor making sure I never get too far
I am wounded and nearly torn apart
It feels like it's all too much
What do you do when you can't get up?
(You take it back and start again.)
There's a new day coming in
What do you do when you can't go home?
(You take it back and start again)
Pick up the pieces and put me together
Tell me everything is gonna be okay
Give me a reason to get up again
Taken more than any one should ever take
I've been buried, yeah, I've been left for dead
Don't think I'm ever gonna see the light of day again
Scratch the surface for the air above
I try but it's not enough
What do you do when you can't get up?
You just take comfort knowing you can't get much lower than you are
And I swear, I'll never sin again
Things are never gonna be the same
And all I have to say is
You're the only one to blame
With a (?) that you know I'm in
I don't think that I am ever gonna leave this cage
