[Verse]
Look at me here I am
Standing up as best as I can
I've been kicked down quite a lot
But I keep getting up again
I dust myself off and start all over again
And again, and again
[Chorus]
They keep telling me things aren't as bad as I think
In the moment, it feels grim, but it's just a new beginning
They keep telling me shit could always be worse
Well, thank you very much for those nice, kind words
[Verse]
Look at me, I got fired again
Walking out with my box of crap and a plant
Got run over by a bike, broke my hand
Walk it off, dust if off. It's just a hand
Just a hand, just a hand
[Chorus]
They keep telling me things aren't as bad as I think
In the moment, it feels grim, but it's just a new beginning
They keep telling me shit could always be worse
Well, thank you very much for those nice, kind words
[Verse]
I got home. There's a note on the door
Payment due, overdue, now pay up
It will be ok, girl, just calm down
There's hard times ahead, but you're not alone
The man waiting for you at home
Will stand by you through hot and cold
[Chorus]
They keep telling me things aren't as bad as I think
In the moment, it feels grim, but it's just a new beginning
They keep telling me shit could always be worse
Well, thank you very much for those nice, kind words
[Verse]
I open up the door, I step inside
I call out his name, but nobody's home
I turn on the light, see an empty home
He had his stuff packed
The mother fucker's gone
[Chorus]
They keep telling me things aren't as bad as I think
In the moment, it feels grim, but it's just a new beginning
They keep telling me shit could always be worse
Well, thank you very much for those nice, kind words
[Bridge]
He knew I lost my job,
He knew I broke my hand
He knows about the payment overdue
So he saved his ass and threw me to the wolves
[Outro]
Breathe
Breathe
It will be all right
All right
All right
It will be all right
Look at me, here I am
Standing up as best as I can
I've been kicked down quite a lot
But I keep getting up again
I dust myself off and start all over again
And again, and again
