lyrics

im just pushin through it
no, you cant get back what you give
im just pushin through it
no, you cant get back what you give

if im honest
it didnt turn out how i wanted
same day to day, im exhausted
of changing for other peoples sake
i just wanted to be your friend
in the end

if i spent my life scared of dying
was i ever really alive?
i get up to get down again
in and im out
and it didnt make sense
but it clicked in my head when you said

im just pushin through it
no, you cant get back what you give
im just pushin through it
no, you cant get back what you give

(instrumental break)

you walk a wire
its getting tired
you carry weight
and hope it breaks
you make a noise
to fill a void

you cant unwind
you change your mind
you fight your friends
it never ends
you take and take
and never gain

im just pushin through it
no you cant get back what you give
im just pushin through it
no you cant get back-im just pushin through it
no, you cant get back what you give
im just pushin through it
no, you cant get back what you give
