lyrics

Get me off the ground
I may be at a low
But I’m not down and out

I’ve been burning my problems
And wearing the ashes
Running through the trees
stepping over the branches
Just want to find my way back

Take the ghosts of my crimes
And carve it into my skin
As a constant reminder
Of getting better again
I’m Covering my tracks

I’ve been nothing but bitter
Nowhere but the gutter
And I’m not great
But I’m getting better
So give me a bit
But don’t let me blow it
Yeah I’ll be fine
Just don’t let me waste my time

God as my witness
I’ll make it through this
I’m done with counting myself out
And doubting
Every choice I make
(Every choice I make)

I’ve been nothing but bitter
Nowhere but the gutter
And I’m not great
But I’m getting better
So give me a bit
But don’t let me blow it
Yeah I’ll be fine
Just don’t let me waste my time

I hope being hopeful will get me home
And I hope all the loneliness leaves me a lone
I may be at a low
But I’m not down and out
I’m not burning my bridges
I’m setting flame to my doubts
