[Verse 1]
My wrist keeps throbbing
When I grip that rail
Sink in the bathtub
Stare at the chipped blue tile
I bite down hard
Till my jaw goes numb
Still I clock that hurt
And I let it come
[Pre-Chorus]
If I move, it bites
If I rest, it stays
I keep my hands busy
I keep the dark away
Count the dents in the wall
Count the cracks in my name
I can hear it calling
I can hear it say
[Chorus]
I’ve gotta endure this pain
Endure this pain
I’ve gotta endure this pain
(Take it, take it)
Hold my line, keep clean
Hold my line, keep clean
I’ve gotta endure this pain
(Still I stand)
[Verse 2]
Meds in a paper cup
Cold on my tongue
Rain tapping that window
Like it knows what’s wrong
The sheets feel heavy
Like a low, dark sea
But I’m not done yet
It’s not done with me
[Pre-Chorus]
If I move, it bites
If I rest, it stays
I keep my hands busy
I keep the dark away
Count the dents in the wall
Count the cracks in my name
I can hear it calling
I can hear it say
[Chorus]
I’ve gotta endure this pain
Endure this pain
I’ve gotta endure this pain
(Take it, take it)
Hold my line, keep clean
Hold my line, keep clean
I’ve gotta endure this pain
(Still I stand)
[Bridge]
Let it burn, let it ring
Let it test my bones
I was made for the long road
Made to make it home
One breath at a time
One step, then another
If I fall in the middle
I’ll rise like no other
[Chorus]
I’ve gotta endure this pain
Endure this pain
I’ve gotta endure this pain
(Take it, take it)
Hold my line, keep clean
Hold my line, keep clean
I’ve gotta endure this pain
(Still I stand)
