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)
