Lyrics:
[Verse 1]
I fought a battle, I fought a war
I felt the rain on my face
Sometimes to find what you're looking for
You've gotta learn from your worst mistakes
[Verse 2]
I made a wish on a satellite
That I mistook for a star
Guess when you build up to break down
You find out who you really are
[Chorus]
How did it all get so heavy?
I used to stand up so tall
There's only so much I can carry before I fall
And they tell me, "girl you're so lucky"
"You've got the world in your hands"
But you know the world gets so heavy
You don't understand and that's heavy
[Verse 3]
Just tell me, what's the intention?
Is it to fall in love?
I tried to find a connection
Between how it is and how it was
[Verse 4]
I made a promise I couldn't keep
Another story to tell
You swear to god that you know me
But I don't, don't even know myself
Chorus
[Bridge]
Sometimes I lay awake in bed at night
I close my eyes and all I see is see the dreams
I used to dream about when I was younger
I wonder where I took the path of no return
I might've lost my way a hundred times
But no I never ever lost the hunger
Oh, and I know every cut
And every stitch and every scar
I know they've gotten me this far
They only made me tough, they made me stronger
But when it's hard to breathe
And I just can't get off the floor
I long for days when I was free
A life I lived so long before
Chorus
