Well it's one day at a time, the words I etched inside my mind They help me fight all of the demons coming after me Like pins and needles digging underneath my skin I numb 'em out and hide myself as best as I can Well I'm just the shell of a man You thought I was I gave it all and still Fell out all the same And I just don't want to choke on every word I say Hell no not anymore I'm trying My hardest To be, the man you thought I was And I'm trying To show you That I can be, better than this Well somedays I feel like it's never enough And that no matter what it's never going to change And even though it feels like all hope is lost I still find a way to pull it together for you I know I will not be this broken shell forever I'll find a way to live For you, and myself And I swear to God this won't be the reason I fall off Please don't leave me behind I'm trying My hardest To be, the man you thought I was And I'm trying To show you That I can be, better than this So please don't leave Please stay here Let me be, the man you know I can And I promise That I won't let All of this, be what kills me It's so hard sometimes to figure out where you stand In your life, in your own eyes when you can't Stop judging yourself Stop the hate and learn to love yourself
