[Hook]
They say they came to lift me up…
Just to turn and bring me down.
But I just don’t give a fuck…
I’ve been lower than this ground.
I’ve been here too many times,
Still somehow I make it out.
I believe what’s meant for me will come…
Maybe not today…
But someday it’ll come around.
They say they came to lift me up…
Just to turn and bring me down.
But I just don’t give a fuck…
You ain’t showing me a darkness
That I haven’t already found.
[Male]
Late nights alone,
Trying to carry myself when nobody’s around.
Maybe that’s the reason they assume
It’d be easy just to take me down.
But what they don’t understand—
My demons already tried that shit.
I’ve fought inside my own mind
With things nobody else could comprehend.
You think you can break me?
Man, breaking became familiar.
I’ve had conversations with myself
That hit harder than anything you could deliver.
So I stopped expecting everybody
To understand what’s underneath.
I learned how to drag myself through nights
When my own mind was against me.
That doesn’t mean I don’t need people.
It means I know what happens
When everybody leaves.
They say they came to lift me up…
Just to turn and bring me down.
But I just don’t give a fuck…
I’ve been lower than this ground.
I’ve been here too many times,
Still somehow I make it out.
I believe what’s meant for me will come…
Maybe not today…
But someday it’ll come around.
Never thought I’d still be feeling
Wounds I swore would disappear.
Walking around saying, “I’m okay,”
While knowing damn well they’re still here.
Staying awake asking myself
What the hell I did today…
(Nothing.)
Another day went by
While I was busy getting lost inside my brain.
And I hate that.
I hate watching myself push people away.
I hate getting comfortable with darkness
Like it’s somewhere I’m supposed to stay.
I’ve adapted to a life
I never pictured myself living.
Started protecting everything that’s mine
’Cause I got tired of always giving.
I’m tired of remembering.
Tired of wishing I could forget.
Tired of things from yesterday
Still collecting interest in my head.
But I’m here yet…
They say they came to lift me up…
Just to turn and bring me down.
But I just don’t give a fuck…
I know every inch of this ground.
You can tell me that I’m finished,
You can try to count me out.
I believe there’s something left for me…
Maybe not today…
But someday I’ll find it out.
I got numb to all of it
’Cause I allowed too much for too long.
Then blamed myself every time
The same damn situation went wrong.
Maybe I made myself vulnerable.
Maybe I ignored what I saw.
Maybe people noticed I was already low
And figured I couldn’t fall that far.
But that version of me
Doesn’t have to be where my story stops.
Yeah, I still hate myself some days.
Still got nights where everything feels lost.
But if I survived my own mind
When it was telling me I couldn’t…
Then what makes you think
You’re gonna be the one to finish what it couldn’t?
They say they came to lift me up
Just to turn and bring me down…
(Oohh..)
