Thursday - Stay True lyrics

Kid, you need some thicker skin You don't take punches well You're just like your old man But you're young and scared You're weak in your beliefs And you've got so much to prove And not a lot of time Before they get to you So please, Stay true Yeah, you stick up for your friends And you've got a lot of heart You remind me of myself Before I lost my nerve I've been counting my mistakes I can see all that we've lost And I don't want to talk About the old days Disregard those clapping hands They'll turn to punches when you're down Disregard the critics' praise They'll be the first to tell the news That you've sold your soul Disregard those dollar signs They'll buy the biggest house in hell Where you'll live alone Just keep your head down Keep your friends close Hold fast to your beliefs And, whatever else you do Stay true, stay true Believe me, when I say It's the hardest thing to do Stay true, stay true They'll k** you by inches Don't let them make a move Stay true, stay true Look me in the eye And promise me one thing: Stay true, stay true Nothing else matters None of this is real Stay true Disregard the cynics' path They'll buy a drink and laugh with you While you trade defeats Disregard your fear of d**h We've all got a lot to lose Whatever else you do Stay true
