You've spent too long
Waiting on a change
But it never came
Did you wait in vain? I don't know your name
But I know you well I'm just like you
in that I had to fight through everyday
Trying to numb the pain
Drink it all away
Smoke another strain
Didn't know myself I'm not gonna tell you it's okay
Or to not complain
Or that it's a phase
But you're not insane

Even when your backs up against the wall
Even when your down and almost out
When it looks the worst and getting worse
You're still alive, you can always try
Even when your backs up against the wall
Even when your light is burning out
When it looks the worst and getting worse
You're still alive, you can always try

I know that it's hard though
Don't get me wrong I don't want my words to be misheard
Or to make it worse
But I've been around
We have all got our own heavy cross to bare
It's a metaphor
Like I said before
I can look at yours
Coz I've been around

I'm not gonna tell you it's okay
Or to not complain
Or that it's a phase
But you're not insane
Even when your backs up against the wall
Even when your down and almost out
When it looks the worst and getting worse
You're still alive, you can always try
Even when your backs up against the wall
Even when your light is burning out
When it looks the worst and getting worse
You're still alive, you can always try
