I been spendin' all this time
Tryin' to pick up all the pieces
Tryin' to walk a line
And fight away all my demons
So if you stick around
Then maybe you can see it
One day I'll make you proud
Right now, you don't believe
That's okay (that's okay)
I'll probably burn every bridge along the way
But that's okay (that's okay)
'Cause I'm still standing here today
And Lord knows I'm a changed man
Still broke inside from Hell's flame
Many nights I laid awake
Overdosing on pure pain
Heartbreak and a side of pills
Whiskey bottles still call my name
Now and then, like an old friend
Lost someplace, against the grain
The hands of time still tickin'
The winds of life keep blowin' by
I feel that cold winter breeze
That lets me know I'm still alive
And I can't lie, I've been hurt bad
I told myself, "Don't turn back"
Gotta go and find what I'm searchin' for
God knows I deserve that
And sometimes I still dream
Wake up in a pool of sweat
That sun shinin' through the blinds
Just in time for the sunset
Still find the good in all the bad
But all the good ain't come yet
I take a look at my daughter's eyes
It lets me know I ain't done yet
I've been runnin' blind through the darkness (yeah)
Did some time on some charges (yeah)
Overtime became heartless
But I'm still goin' to shine regardless (come on)
And if you ever doubted me
Well, that's okay, just wait and see
'Cause I ain't met one single person
That could ever doubt me as much as me
I been spendin' all this time
Tryin' to pick up all the pieces
Tryin' to walk a line
And fight away all my demons
So if you stick around
Then maybe you can see it
One day I'll make you proud
Right now, you don't believe
That's okay (that's okay)
I'll probably burn every bridge along the way
But that's okay (that's okay)
'Cause I'm still standin' here today
I felt the hand of God in my darkest hour
Heard the Devil whisper death
I've been tortured by insecurities
Had my heart ripped right outta my chest
I swallowed my pride many times
That bitter taste is all that's left
My pillow case has witnessed hell
From all this pain inside of my head
I've seen good men die young
Mama's cry for lost sons
A young lady she's nine months
And the baby daddy strung out on drugs
Seen my people get locked up
And who knows when they comin' home
All the closest ones I ever loved
Gotta read their name on a tombstone
But nowadays, when I go to sleep
I wake up in a better place
That sun shinin' through my blinds
Thank you, God, for Heaven's sake
My daughter's face lookin' back at me
Baby girl, Daddy's safe
I'm here for you and Mama too
Everyone I love, we goin' to be okay
I made it home before the sun set
That pool of sweat done dried away
I could have cried a million times
Enough tears for a tidal wave
But I told you I ain't done yet
And I still ain't got no time to waste
Everyday we wake up
We 'bout to see some brighter days
I been spendin' all this time
Tryin' to pick up all the pieces
Tryin' to walk a line
And fight away all my demons
So if you stick around
Then maybe you can see it
One day I'll make you proud
Right now, you don't believe
That's okay (that's okay)
I'll probably burn every bridge along the way
But that's okay (that's okay)
'Cause I'm still standin' here today
And I don't have
Nothin' left to prove
I've served my time
And paid my dues
And I don't have
Nothin' left to prove
I've served my time
And paid my dues
That's okay (that's okay)
I probably burn every bridge along the way
But that's okay (that's okay)
'Cause I'm still standin' here today
