When you're all alone and the fight seems rough Feeling singled out cause times were tough Isolated in this small town I may survive or I may drown I'm still alive but I'm barely standing Seems like no one sees me as human Only thing I can do is keep my head held high Cause I'm professional You say you're something and it seems far fetched I could call your bluff but I'm not there yet And I want to say I won't sink that low But every day I feel a brand new blow I'm still alive but I'm barely standing Seems like no one sees me as human I'm still alive but I'm barely hanging on to hope On better days I can see the future And I pray to forgive these posers Only thing I can do is keep my head held high Cause I'm professional You've worn me down And though I know someday Today will be the blessed past I'll stay away And you'll never hurt me again, no The worst thing is I've so much love to give I could've given some to you But my hands are tied Now I'm protecting my broken heart I'm still alive but I'm barely standing Seems like no one sees me as human I'm still alive but I'm barely hanging on to hope On better days I can see the future And I pray to forgive these posers Only thing I can do is keep my head held high Why am I Why am I Why am I professional
