Uphill Battle Lyrics
[Verse 1]
I cried on your shoulder right there in the kitchen
Our friends in the next room, so close they could listen
And I don't know why
I laugh when I cry
I'm not the girl that you thought you were getting
I'm way more complex, yeah I got them sharp edges
I'm solid as ice, oh
But I break all the time
[Pre-Chorus 1]
But if I were a different girl
It'd be simpler, that's for sure
Wouldn't it be nice to be a cool wind, cool wind?
Always keep it breezy
Ooh yeah, ooh yeah, but I am not that easy
[Chorus]
No, I am who I am
And I am a lot to handle
You do the best you can
But I am an uphill battle
[Verse 2]
You say I act like it's my job to get so emotional
Hell it's my business to get so emotional
About to lose it
Just below the surface, ooh yeah
Walking around with a knot in my stomach
Got you so high but we're ready to plummet
Going down, going down, going down, going down
Oh no
[Pre-Chorus 1]
But if I were a different girl
It'd be simpler, that's for sure
Wouldn't it be nice to be a cool wind, cool wind?
Always keep it breezy
Ooh yeah, ooh yeah, but I am not that easy
[Chorus]
No, I am who I am
And I am a lot to handle
You do the best you can
But I am an uphill battle
I'll be your solid ground
And I'll be your biggest gamble
You do the best you can, I know
[Bridge]
So baby baby keep on climbing
I'll wrap my arms around you tight
I'll take you to the highest mountain
I'll take you to the top tonight
[Pre-Chorus 2]
If I were a different girl
Yeah, it'd be simpler, that's for sure
But you know you wouldn't get the sparks from the clash, the high from the crash
The curse and the kiss, they will make this thing last
[Chorus]
No I am who I am
And I am a lot to handle
You do the best you can
But I am an uphill battle
I'll be your solid ground
And I'll be your biggest gamble
You do the best you can
But I am an uphill battle, ooh
An uphill battle
An uphill battle, ooh

How did the song come together?
I had this idea floating around in my head for years but I never seemed to say what I meant. I had had the “if I were a different girl” lyric for a while, and a recent experience of crying in my kitchen that I knew I wanted to use, but that was it. I’m not sure why it came together on this particula...
What is the inspiration behind this track?
This song is about looking at myself honestly, acknowledging my flaws, and trying to find empowerment in them. I like to grow, develop, and get better in all ways but this song is about the stuff that’s just in my blood, the parts of me that will never really change no matter how hard I try. It’s ab...
What was the process of making the song like?
After I had the ‘uphill battle’ title idea, the first draft of lyrics came quickly. As always, I used the process as a catharsis for me by including a lot of very specific and personal details. Then I brought that poem to the studio and read it to the incredible Michael Jade. He did some very necess...
