Fighter

Bottom of the ninth, up against the odds Running outta time, only got one shot When it's really do-or-die, when your back's against the wall When you're fighting for your life, do you believe in you or not? I'm a believer, I believe I'm a believer, I believe Second-guessing every breath, I'm full of questions Past is full of cigarettes, alcohol, and depression Therapists and all the different pills can get expensive All this bottled up aggression, I'm too old to get arrested Almost died tryna get here, got high through my best years Got sober, then I relapsed, then I cleaned up, got my head clear Sometimes it feels like there ain't shit to believe in But I believe that we're all here for a reason, yeah You don't think you're a fighter, but I know you are And you are a liar if you say you aren't You don't think that you're worth it, but I think you are And I think you're perfect the way that you are Tired from pressure I put on myself for years Tired from my 20s, the whiskey bottles and beers Tired of smiling while I been holding back tears But I believe I can do it, so I'm here I'm a believer, I believe I'm a believer, I believe I been told I have a death wish, no one's interested Cold and too aggressive, close to hypertension I'm broken from the pressure, explosive with my temper I'm sober, but I'm stressing and hoping it gets better Am I falling off? Should I give it up or put it all on pause? Let go of this dream so I can visit home and talk to Mom? Maybe all I need's another Instagram post With a quote about believing in yourself when you're low You don't think you're a fighter, but I know you are And you are a liar if you say you aren't You don't think that you're worth it, but I think you are And I think you're perfect the way that you are Maybe I'm weaker, and I know I've lost before But I'm a believer, nothing is impossible I'm a believer, I believe I'm a believer, I believe You don't think you're a fighter, but I know you are And you are a liar if you say you aren't You don't think that you're worth it, but I think you are And I think you're perfect the way that you are
