Getting Back Up

You look in my eyes, but you can't see what's behind them

You listen to my heart, but a beat won't tell you how I'm doing

You hear my tongue, but words can't hide the truth in lying

You see my scars, and you know exactly how I got them

I just keep falling down, and getting back up

These punches are starting to land, tired of tasting blood

I just keep falling down, and getting back up

Life is heavier in my chest than it ever was

I just keep falling down, and getting back up

I've tried so hard, but it's never enough

You trace my steps, but you can't feel the weight I carry

You echo my name, but the sound is hollow when you call

You hold my hand, but you don't sense the cracks beneath it

You see me stand, but you don't know how long I had to crawl

I keep falling down, and getting back up

These punches fucking landing, tired of the blood

I keep falling down, and getting back up

The fire's burning dim, but the wind lights it up

I keep falling down, and getting back up

Bleeding from the climb, can't afford to give it up

I keep falling down

I keep falling down

Tell me, how do you love when your heart won't come back?

And how can you run when my air is all ash?

Keep breaking in silence, screaming through gritted teeth

But I just keep getting back up

So if I fall again, let me fall like a rock

Because I just keep falling down, and getting back up

Not just for them, but also myself
