I've just got some words swirling around in my head
Just got some things, I wish I could've said
Just got some problems I don't want to bear

Learning to be patient and to think positively
Wanting to be happy and to live carefree
Wondering how long my walk in the valley will be

Compressed feelings consuming my soul
Horrible thoughts about ending it all
Rebuking demons calling on the Lord

Fighting my way back to feeling like me
Pushing my to thru to be all I can be
Trying so hard but this woman is getting weary

Tired of standing and being so strong
Tired of waiting for better things to come along
Hands numb from just holding on

Can't let go, I've got too many dependents
Enabling failure while preaching success
Sometimes I think I'm the source of my unhappiness
Doing what's wrong and settling for less
Fighting myself in this crab barrel living in three stages of darkness
