[verse 1]
I've got a sentimental set of excuses
I'm gonna use 'em alright
It takes a certain kind of social recluse
to stay in bed on a friday night
[pre-chorus 1]
But I won't lie down
I'll take the pain and I'll set it free
I won't lie down
[chorus]
Better odds await the faint of heart
I've got a new disaster to start
I'm gonna make my day
Way too deep to cash out now
Upside down and inside out
I never knew it was not okay
It's a neverender
[verse 2]
It takes a certain kind of burning contention
to make you listen to me
It takes believing that you really can get there
to justify what you cannot see
[pre-chorus 2]
But I won't lie down
I'll take the pain and I'll set it free
I won't lie down
not trying to be who you see in me
[bridge]
I took a year of pain
and I hid it away from you
What's a kid with a broken heart
and a fistful of dreams to do?
It's a neverender with constant reminders
of why I could never move on
Looking back it's like I never saw the signs...
