I am trying so hard, to create a life
That I am proud of
Instead of trying to find other ways
To tear it all down
I'm holding on

I've been known to slip, been known to break down, but always find a way back up
Been known to care, perhaps too much
I have shown contempt, have shown compassion, to those who sold it off for change
But I'm still here, because I was there once

I am trying so hard, to create a life
That I am proud of
Instead of trying to find other ways
To tear it all down
I'm holding on

I've been known to run, when things get difficult, but always make it back to you
Been known to dream, perhaps too much
But I have shown the world, that I'm worth it, and push back when it scares me still
But I'm still here, because I was there once

I am trying so hard, to create a life
That I am proud of
Instead of trying to find other ways
To tear it all down
I'm holding on (5x)
