Yeah I know the person in the mirror's not a perfect one I look at him everyday and think he's not enough My life's a book that I don't really like to open up I'm twenty-six, but I feel like I live in chapter one I skim through, I've been through it, they laugh at us You think it's funny, yeah, laugh it up I always felt like no one listened to me, that's how I grew up Church is where I found God, but it's also where I learned to judge Yeah, I had to learn there's a difference between What you want, and what you really need I've always been motivated by comments from people tellin' me Things that I'll never be, and then I become it, this is my everything There's so much that goes on in my head that people will never see You probably be terrified of my memories, don't lecture me Let me be, let me see, let me breathe, how they remember me Doesn't alter who I am as a person to take my energy, yeah Hard days, cold nights Staring down at an empty cup like I'ma fill, I'ma fill it up All day, all night Ten feet down nearly my whole life But I'll be rising, rising up Yeah, my fans made me who I am, but they also deceived me I've been allowed to live life like I'm already grieving I'm at a table of lies, but don't eat what they feed me My hoodie over my face, so nobody can see me I'm on a plane, 'bout to fly again Looking out the window, take a moment to admire it Wondering how high it is, wonder where the time has went Then I shut the window and go back to feeling like I'm out my mind again, ah Yeah, seems like we're all trying to climb a ladder It's crazy what we'll do to climb it faster It's like we throw away the things in life that really matter Just so that we can make it to the top, and wonder what we're even climbing after I know the feeling of feeling like everything you deal with will never change That's part of being a human, yeah Life's what you make of it, take it, embrace it, and take it, and savor it Ain't about what you did, it's what you became from it, ah Hard days, cold nights Staring down at an empty cup like I'ma fill, I'ma fill it up All day, all night Ten feet down nearly my whole life But I'll be rising, rising up We all want what we never had The good life doesn't seem so bad The good life doesn't seem so sad Yeah we all want what we never had Hard days, cold nights Staring down at an empty cup like I'ma fill, I'ma fill it up All day, all night Ten feet down nearly my whole life But I'll be rising, rising up We all want what we never had The good life doesn't seem so bad The good life doesn't seem so sad Yeah we all want what we never had Hard days, cold nights Staring down at an empty cup like I'ma fill, I'ma fill it up
