Do you know what it's like
to be fighting a battle
you know you've already lost
trying to hold onto something
obviously in the past
to have no one on your side
and you all alone
doing everything you can
but your everything isn't good enough
and you know you have to let go
but somehow you can't
and everyone's against you
and you don't know what to do
your world is falling apart
right before your eyes
and all you can do is stand there
and helplessly watch
as all the things you thought you knew
become a thing of the past
and no matter how hard you try
nothing can bring anything back
your lost, broken, and ripped apart
and no one's going to help
no one can fix it
no one can make it better
no matter what they say or do
because no matter how hard
you try and fight it
it's already over
and there's no turning back
nowhere to go
you can't hold on any longer
and everyone's telling you to give up
they say there's no hope
they say it's all lost
and that you should move on
but you refuse to believe it
and you can't let yourself forget
you can't let yourself give up
but you realize
theres nothing left you can do
and that it's all over
you've lost the battle
but you won't let yourself
abandon the past
when there's nothing else left to hold onto
but somethin'g telling you not to let go
yes, i know what this is like
this is my life
and it's all i'll ever know
