I am trying so hard, to create a life

That I am proud of

Instead of trying to find other ways

To tear it all down

I'm holding on

I've been known to slip, been known to break down, but always find a way back up

Been known to care, perhaps too much

I have shown contempt, have shown compassion, to those who sold it off for change

But I'm still here, because I was there once

I am trying so hard, to create a life

That I am proud of

Instead of trying to find other ways

To tear it all down

I'm holding on

I've been known to run, when things get difficult, but always make it back to you

Been known to dream, perhaps too much

But I have shown the world, that I'm worth it, and push back when it scares me still

But I'm still here, because I was there once

I am trying so hard, to create a life

That I am proud of

Instead of trying to find other ways

To tear it all down

I'm holding on (5x)
