Lyrics
i been so low
felt the wind blow like i was a screen door
in a thunderstorm
>
yeah i've been down
i've been laid out but you always were
what I came here for
>
waiting all day
waiting all day just for my say for a bell to ring
for the first sting
>
Yeah I been blue
that ain’t nothing new it’s you my friend
you’re why I get up again
>
I’ve make mistakes
I’ve been hard hit I say so what so what if I did I’m the clear eyed I’m the comeback kid start it over start it over again I'm the clear eyed
I'm the comeback kid
>
it’s been a rough year
been some tough tears I’ve lost so fast
all that I had
>
but when it’s time to
i will fight for you cause you know you are are
why i’ve come so far
>
I’ve make mistakes
I’ve been hard hit I say so what so what if I did I’m the clear eyed I’m the comeback kid start it over start it over again I'm the clear eyed
I'm the comeback kid
