Make It out Alive - Assuming We Survive

I’ve been picked upon

I’ve been pushed around

I’ve been lifted up just to be knocked down

I grew up abused, so let’s watch as it all plays out

I have made some friends

That are now enemies

Bad luck comes in waves, mostly 2s and 3s

I can’t count on my lucky stars, they’re nowhere to be seen

I guess it’s just not meant to be

So when I make it out alive

Yeah, I am gonna be the one to

Tell you I’m alright

I knew I would be, I knew I’d be all along

When I make it out alive

Yeah I am gonna be the one to

Tell you I survived

I knew I’d do it, 'cause I knew it all along

I’ll keep my feet on the ground

You keep your head in the clouds

I’ll take the punches as they come to knock me

Out of sight

I must be out of my mind

Who knew growing is just like doing time

Well I’ve done them both and I think I turned out just fine

Just fine, just fine, just fine

But what would you know of this life I’ve been given

My parents they left me so broken

And I’m trying my hardest to fix myself

But I can’t call on you, 'cause that’s a cry for help

And I won’t

So when I make it out alive

Yeah, I am gonna be the one to

Tell you I’m alright

I knew I would be, I knew I’d be all along

When I make it out alive

Yeah I am gonna be the one to

Tell you I survived

I knew I’d do it, 'cause I knew it all along

Oh yeah, yeah you know what they say

If you cannot win the battle, live to fight another day

If you’ve never been hurt then you’ve never known pain

If you’ve never felt love then you’ll never know hate

I felt it all, the pain and the pressure

Building inside me, more than I can measure

You think that you’re smarter

You think that you’re clever

You think that you’re better

Whatever, whatever

So when I make it out alive

Yeah, I am gonna be the one to

Tell you I’m alright

I knew I would be, I knew I’d be all along

When I make it out alive

Yeah I am gonna be the one to

Tell you I survived

I knew I’d do it, 'cause I knew it all along

Oh yeah, yeah you know what they say

If you cannot win a battle, live to fight another day

If you’ve never been hurt then you’ve never known pain

If you’ve never known love then you’ll never know hate
