Who You Are

She tells me love is like a train

And she keeps falling off again

I guess she’s sick of being left behind

She says this story’s all the same

so full of circumstance and shame

I guess she’s sick of watching life pass by

I said What keeps you going?

What keeps you waking up?

She just smiles and shrugs her shoulders and says,

You know, it’s not so tough.

‘Cause if there’s one thing in life that I’ve learned so far

its that we’re all a little stronger than we think we are

and you bend a little farther

or you can stay just how you are

just how you are.

She says There must be more than this

I work two jobs to feed two kids

and it’s been two months since he left without goodbye

I’ve still got bills to pay

the world feels heavier every day

its only getting harder for me just to try

I said What keeps you going?

What keeps you waking up?

She just smiles and shrugs her shoulders and says,

You know, it’s not so tough.

‘Cause if there’s one thing in life that I’ve learned so far

its that we’re all a little stronger than we think we are

and you bend a little farther

or you can stay just how you are

just how you are.

She said I’m trying to have faith

but even food has lost its taste

my greatest fear is I’ll be left here all alone

She said I miss him every day

all I can do is pray their safe reliving memories

oh we used to call this home

she said Sammy I need something

just for once in my life

I need someone else to tell me everything will be alright

I said There’s one thing in life

that I’ve learned so far

its that we’re all a little stronger than we think we are

And you can bend a little farther

but just remember who you are

who you are
