Lyrics

I'm feeling defeated
Can't take much more
The walls keep closing in
Makes me wanna hide some more
Behind these smiles
There's so much pain
Trying to stay positive
Is becoming a drain
I feel defeated
Like I'm pushed to the floor
Every single day
I can't take much more
The walls keep closing in
Like they're locking every door
Trying to stay positive
Feels like a chore
Smiling on the outside
Trying to hold together
While the inside of me
Feels like giving up forever
The pain is real
But I don't let it show
Why would I want
My suffering on display for the world to know
I feel defeated
Can't take much more
Feels like I'm being pushed
Right out the door
Inside my mind
I swear I'm doing this right
Trying my best
Just to survive another night
No matter what I do
It's never enough
People saying I'm not trying
Man, this is rough
Talking down to me
Like I'm still some kid
Never seeing all the good
That I already did
Won't let me explain
Never treat me right
All they ever wanna do
Is start another fight
I feel defeated
I can't give anymore
It's getting harder now
Just to smile anymore
Inside my head
I'm losing control
Trying to stay strong
Is taking its toll
Every single day
Feels heavier somehow
I keep telling myself
"It'll be alright now"
Still I keep walking
Through the pouring rain
Trying to hold together
What remains
Trying to save
What's left of me
But it feels like nobody
Can really see
Smiling on the outside
Trying to hold together
While the voice inside my head
Says it won't get better
The pain is real
But I bury it inside
Cause showing weakness
Feels like losing all my pride
I feel defeated
Can't take much more
Feels like I'm being pushed
Right out the door
Inside my mind
I swear I'm doing this right
Trying my best
Just to survive the night
No matter what I do
It's never enough
Everybody telling me
To just "toughen up"
Talking down to me
Like I'm some kinda fool
While I'm breaking inside
Trying to keep my cool
The walls keep closing in around me
Feels like there's nowhere left to breathe
Darkness crawling through my veins
While I'm drowning in the pain
But somewhere deep inside of me
A fire still remains
Even through the suffering
Even through the rain
I feel defeated
Can't take much more
But I'm still standing here
Like I was before
The walls keep closing in
But I still fight through
Even when the whole dang world
Wants me to lose
I feel defeated…
But I'm not gone yet
Through all this pain
I ain't finished yet
Still breathing
Still fighting
Still standing in the dark
Even broken souls
Can leave a mark
