The sun rises, but not on me
Well I need something to set me free
The sands of time they take my friends away
And none of them seem like they're here to stay
And I'm falling in and out of states of mind
I lost my love and there is none to find
You know that I lie, I try, I break down and scream and cry
And I do want to tell the stories I been through, yeah
My tales, and my fails, interactions with females
I wish that I could take control, but all I can do is let the good times roll
Hook:
I got my troubles
And I don't know
Why I try to make it
When the world's bringing me down
It's bringing me down, down, down, down
And these shadows, won't let me be
I'm on a course to be filled with remorse by missed opportunity
But every day I put paper to pen
Just like I put on smiles for my friends
And I act like I don't care if they go or stay
But I shed a tear each time one fades away
Yeah I know that I should feel good, grew up in a nice neighborhood
But I don't, and I won't, no I can only hope to float
'Cause I drank ‘till I sank right into a great white's tank
If I don't fight I'll surely drown, belly up because my dreams are falling down
Hook:
I got my troubles
And time feels so cold
But still I try, I try to make it
Even when the world's bringing me down
Oh it's bringing me down, down, down, down
Bridge:
But even if my demons come around
And even with my feet tied to the ground
Well I won't fall on my knees, no not I
Well I'll fight my way to free, and I'll fly
Hook:
I got my troubles
But I sure as hell know
That I can fly, and I'm gonna make it
The world can't bring me down
Can't bring me down, down, down, down
Can't bring me down, down, down, down
Can't bring me down, down, down, down
Can't bring me down, down, down, down
