You Can't Kill Us
I swear to God, at night when I close my eyesI can still see this little lost girl insideAnd I don’t know how to help her, I don’t know what to doSupposed to have this figured out but I’m so confused
For years I cried myself to sleep every nightLived one day at time, trying to just stay aliveAnd I knew people had it worse, but that didn’t make me betterTook all I had inside just to hold myself together
But I knew I couldn’t stop, kept hoping one dayMaybe I’d make it to a stage and tell you it’s all okAnd that I love you, even if I haven’t met you yetHold on, stay strong, and never forget
[chorus]We’ve been lost, been to the bottomBeaten up, torn and forgottenStill we fight, we will surviveCan’t kill the fire we feel insideWe’ve been burned, drained and depleted
Left alone, we’re not defeatedStill we fight, we will surviveCan’t kill the fire we feel inside
You can’t, you can’t kill usYou can’t, you can’t kill us
Every day I felt a little less pain insideBut at that rate I knew I'd hurt until the day I diedI refused to let the darkness have the last saySo when it came to call my name I had to run the other wayMaybe that’s what it takes, you have to tell the pain noHave to let the sick parts of your heart finally goMake room for the light, let it pull you in close
And if you’re ever feeling low, I think you know where to go
One day we’re gonna wake up, we’re gonna be alrightWe’ll look back and be happy that we kept ourselves aliveWe’ll honor where we came from, see what the hurt was forBut we don’t let our past hold us hostage anymore'Cause we’ve got more to give, more to live, more to be,More to who we are than our broken historyLike an army, we all know it’s not all better yetBut we hold on, stay strong, and never forget
