lyrics
I never thought that I would feel this way.
I'd feel my heart wear thin at eighteen
and watch my skin and bones fade grey.
Cause' I promised myself last year,
I'd make the effort and try my best
to keep my head up all this winter.
All I need is forward progress.
I spent the summer feeling angry
about a couple things.
About everything you said
and how it meant the world to me.
Well, I found strength inside heartbreak
so I won't waste my breath.
You were merely holding me back.
So, I found myself deep within these streets.
I never thought it'd take you absence
to pull me through.
But, I mean it when I say that I'm trying
to keep my head up.
But, I'm still the same old kid,
I just need to shake this weight.
All this winter I've felt bitter.
Yeah, I've seen some better days.
I'm so sick of feeling like this.
I miss the way it used to be.
This year has took it's toll
but, it won't get what's left of me.
We only have what we remember
and I just want to be remembered.
For the hope I hope to give
and all the words I put together.
I swear I pour my heart out into every word I sing.
So, I hope to god you're listening.
So, I found myself deep within these streets.
I never thought it'd take you absence
to pull me through.
But, I mean it when I say that I'm trying
to keep my head up.
I think I finally found some steady footing in my life.
A place where I can rest my head
and keep me warm at night.
Yeah, I think i'll be just fine.
So, I found myself deep within these streets.
I never thought it'd take you absence
to pull me through.
But, I mean it when I say that I'm trying
to keep my head up. (x2)
I just need to keep my head up.
