An Honest Year – Chin Up, Kid lyrics

Verse 1
Don't say there's only one way for this life I live
It's much more than this (it's much more than this)
Speak for yourself
I won't let you coat me with your clichés
You're doing things all the wrong ways
'Cause I'm a wanted man in the hands of a sinner
Keep myself up at night counting stars as I wither away
Who's to say I'm crazy and messed up
My folks used to say don't look down keep your chin up, kid
'Cause I'm more than this

Chorus
I'm more than this
I've tried and come so far
These days I miss
They're gone but I'll hold on to who I am
Oh, I'll try and get them back again

Verse 2
So maybe you're not the same as me
It's plain you see a one way street
And I know that you know that I don't 'cause I won't be someone I'm not
So maybe you might find me a little lost and lonely
But I'll be fine, 'cause I'm alright

Chorus
I'm more than this
I've tried and come so far
These days I miss
They're gone but I'll hold on to who I am
Oh, I'll try and get them back again

Bridge
Don't let them bring you down
'Cause all these struggles you face come around
So before you fall, you are more than half the man you saw
I'm taking time for me to grow, in search to find my open road [x2]

Chorus [x2]
I'm more than this
I've tried and come so far
These days I miss
They're gone but I'll hold on to who I am (who I am)
Oh, I'll try and get them back again
(I'm taking time for me to grow, in search to find my open road) [x2]
