Make It Out Alive by Assuming We Survive Lyrics
[Verse 1]
I’ve been picked upon
I’ve been pushed around
I’ve been lifted up just to be knocked down
I grew up abused, so let’s watch as it all plays out
I have made some friends
That are now enemies
Bad luck comes in waves, mostly 2s and 3s
I can't count on my lucky stars, they're nowhere to be seen
I guess it’s just not meant to be
[Chorus]
So when I make it out alive
Yeah, I am gonna be the one to
Tell you I’m alright
I knew I would be, I knew I’d be all along
When I make it out alive
Yeah I am gonna be the one to
Tell you I survived
I knew I'd do it, 'cause I knew it all along
[Verse 2]
I’ll keep my feet on the ground
You keep your head in the clouds
I'll take the punches as they come to knock me
Out of sight
I must be out of my mind
Who knew growing is just like doing time
Well I've done them both and I think I turned out just fine
Just fine, just fine, just fine
But what would you know of this life I've been given
My parents they left me so broken
And I'm trying my hardest to fix myself
But I can't call on you, 'cause that’s a cry for help
And I won't
[Chorus]
So when I make it out alive
Yeah, I am gonna be the one to
Tell you I’m alright
I knew I would be, I knew I’d be all along
When I make it out alive
Yeah I am gonna be the one to
Tell you I survived
I knew I'd do it, 'cause I knew it all along
[Bridge]
Oh yeah, yeah you know what they say
If you cannot win the battle, live to fight another day
If you’ve never been hurt then you’ve never known pain
If you’ve never felt love then you’ll never know hate
I felt it all, the pain and the pressure
Building inside me, more than I can measure
You think that you're smarter
You think that you’re clever
You think that you're better
Whatever, whatever
[Chorus]
So when I make it out alive
Yeah, I am gonna be the one to
Tell you I’m alright
I knew I would be, I knew I’d be all along
When I make it out alive
Yeah I am gonna be the one to
Tell you I survived
I knew I'd do it, 'cause I knew it all along
[Outro]
Oh yeah, yeah you know what they say
If you cannot win a battle, live to fight another day
If you’ve never been hurt then you’ve never known pain
If you’ve never known love then you’ll never know hate
I’ve been picked upon
I’ve been pushed around
I’ve been lifted up just to be knocked down
