Been kicked around so long
|
You're starting to get used to how it feels
|
The taste of blood that's in your mouth
|
There's still somehow it always heals
|
Don't know how you keep on getting up
|
From all those ghostly blows
|
And all that pain that lingers
|
Deep down in the darkness where it grows
|
|
I know how hard it is
|
To keep your head up kid
|
To keep your head up
|
Kid
|
|
And there you sit on high
|
All tucked away and locked up in the clouds
|
Waiting for someone to finally
|
Come along and take you out
|
Into this bitter world
|
That also often treated you so cruel
|
When they turn away
|
You know that they will say that you're a fool
|
|
I know how hard it is
|
To keep your head up kid
|
I know how hard it is
|
To keep your head up kid
|
|
And so patiently
|
You waited for a love to come along
|
Take you out into this bitter world
|
So often done you wrong
|
There you sit alone
|
And there you shed a solitary tear
|
Listening to a song
|
You think that no one else would ever hear
|
|
I know how hard it is
|
To keep your head up kid
|
I know hard it is
|
To keep your head up
|
Keep your head up
|
Keep your head up
|
Keep your head up
|
Keep your head up
|
