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
