lyrics

I'm trying so damn hard to love
This world that would think nothing of
My dead body, lying in the street
Killed by hate and an attempt to be
Oh I'm trying so damn hard, but

Some days I'm overcome with rage
Sometimes I scream out the pain
Of this prison, trapped so tight
Nothing left but a prick of light
Oh I'm trying so damn hard to change

Cause dreaming only gets you so far
And the art of living sets a high bar
I'm so tired of this war,
But I'm sure
Of what I'm fighting for.

I'm clutching so damn tight to hope
That I'll somehow escape this low
I long for it, to be more than this
Shell of who I could've been
Oh I'm holding fast I won't let go

Some days it's all so clear
And I can release some of the fear
Of never being quite enough,
Trying so hard for nothing but
I'm looking at the coming years

Cause dreaming only gets you so far
And the art of living sets a high bar
I'm so tired of this war
But I'm sure
Of what I'm fighting for.

And the most dangerous part
Is realizing that your heart
Can break within a blink
When you're on the brink

But the best part
Is realizing that your heart
Is stronger than you think
Oh it's stronger than you think

Cause dreaming only gets you so far
And the art of living sets a high bar
I'm so tired of this war
But I'm sure
Of what I'm fighting for
Oh I'm sure
Of what I'm fighting for.
