Ups and Downs

Verse 1
Gave up, gave in, gave everything
Got hit, got up, got enemies
My memories, no friend to me
Cut me, I bleed, feedin’ the machine
What hurt the most, stab my throat, rock the boat
Left to choke, all alone, I turn into an animal
Ambushed and pushed until my ankles broke
Still standin’, I know somethin’ you don’t

Pre-Chorus
How did I come so far
Just to lose it all?
Will I fall apart?
Gave it all I got
It’s dark before the dawn
Gets hard to carry on
The way to overcome
Is looking up

Chorus
Gotta get ready for the rain again
Dark clouds and skies ahead
Ups and downs, try to understand
I put my face to the sun when I can
‘Til the rain again
Dark clouds and skies ahead
Ups and downs, try to understand
I put my face to the sun when I can

Verse 2
Fell off, fell out, failed miserably
Lost love, lost drive, lost energy
My legacy, new identity
Won’t bend a knee, I’m back up on my feet
A long road, overthrown, heaven knows
For the throne, back home, I came in with the antidote
Can’t move me, I’ve grown and know you’re comatose
No damage, stronger than I’ve ever known

Pre-Chorus
How did I come so far
Just to lose it all?
Will I fall apart?
Gave it all I got

Chorus
Gotta get ready for the rain again
Dark clouds and skies ahead
Ups and downs, try to understand
I put my face to the sun when I can
‘Til the rain again
Dark clouds and skies ahead
Ups and downs, try to understand
I put my face to the sun when I can

Bridge
How did I come so far
Just to lose it all?
And if I fall apart
‘Least I gave it all I got
‘Til then, I’ll never stop
But I don’t know where to start
And if I fall apart
‘Least I gave it all I got
‘Til then, I’ll never stop, stop, stop

Chorus
Gotta get ready for the rain again
Dark clouds and skies ahead
Ups and downs, try to understand
I put my face to the sun when I can
‘Til the rain again
Dark clouds and skies ahead
Ups and downs, try to understand
I put my face to the sun when I can

Outro
How did I come so far? (Oh-oh)
I put my face to the sun when I can (Oh-oh)
Will I fall apart? (Oh-oh)
I put my face to the sun when I can
It’s dark before the dawn (Oh-oh)
I put my face to the sun when I can (Oh-oh)
The way to overcome (Oh-oh)
I put my face to the sun when I can
