Chin Up, Kid

Don't say there's only one way for this life I live

It's much more than this (it's much more than this)

Speak for yourself

I won't let you coat me with your clichés

You're doing things all the wrong ways

'Cause I'm a wanted man in the hands of a sinner

Keep myself up at night counting stars as I wither away

Who's to say I'm crazy and messed up

My folks used to say don't look down keep your chin up, kid

'Cause I'm more than this

I'm more than this

I've tried and come so far

These days I miss

They're gone but I'll hold on to who I am

Oh, I'll try and get them back again

So maybe you're not the same as me

It's plain you see a one way street

And I know that you know that I don't 'cause I won't be someone I'm not

So maybe you might find me a little lost and lonely

But I'll be fine, 'cause I'm alright

I'm more than this

I've tried and come so far

These days I miss

They're gone but I'll hold on to who I am

Oh, I'll try and get them back again

Bridge

Don't let them bring you down

'Cause all these struggles you face come around

So before you fall, you are more than half the man you saw

I'm taking time for me to grow, in search to find my open road I'm more than this

I've tried and come so far

These days I miss

They're gone but I'll hold on to who I am (who I am)

Oh, I'll try and get them back again

(I'm taking time for me to grow, in search to find my open road)
