This treading water feels so much like drowning You weren't there He just needed for someone to give him a sign But I shrugged it off like "Better luck next time" How can I say what you've been through? It's hard enough to live my own life There's only so much I can do And it eats me up inside Eats me up inside And it eats me up inside I'm not here To cure or fix anyone Don't turn me into what I'm not Please understand I'm not who you think I am Look inside Look inside I think you'll be surprised by what you'll find I promise it will come alive if you try One day at a time How can I say what you've been through? It's hard enough to live my own life There's only so much I can do And it eats me up inside Eats me up inside I can never know The hand you've been dealt Or the pain that you've held But I know you can't fight for anyone else If you can't fight for yourself Fight for yourself Fight for yourself How can I say what you've been through? You've been through It's hard enough to live my own life There's only so much I can do I can do And it eats me up inside Eats me up inside And it eats me up inside And it eats me up inside
