A Little Work (Extended Version)

[Intro] You think you know me but you don't know You think I've had nothing but easy roads If I could show you the map to my soul You would probably say I'm crazy And hungry and lonely and tired I've been through the trenches and gone through the fire We all fall and rise again to the call [Verse 1] Got a lot of answers I'm looking for in these meds 'Bout time I talk to somebody, shrink my head A lot of promises, broken things that were said And I can't get out of this bed Got bruises on my heart, plenty scars on my mind Got blisters under the band-aid over my life Gonna rip it open and show the world what's there Lord knows I'm not perfect [Chorus] We're all just a little bit broken (Yeah) We're all just a little bit hurt (Yeah) We've all got wounds half open (Yeah) We all can use a little work A little work, a little work [Verse 2] Gotta wait, first of the month to pick up that check He bounced, left, it was over, never came back Had a lot of questions 'bout daddy after he left Now it's just momma and them kids, and she said "I'll hold her down, don't you worry, we'll find a way No matter how, I'll make sure the bills get paid" She gave it all and thank God their mouths got fed She prayed the cycle would end [Pre-Chorus] When everything around me starts to fall I rise up again to the call [Chorus] We're all just a little bit broken (Yeah) We're all just a little bit hurt (Yeah) We've all got wounds half open (Yeah) We all can use a little work A little work, a little work [Bridge] Sometimes when you feel like you need it They send in the medic, woah But if it's your soul that is bleeding That slow drip won't help it, no It's time to get up to the front of the line The guards of the battle and straight for the mind Well, well, well, well There's nothing that's holding you down Stuck on the ground, far from the crown 'Cause you are a warrior more than you know [Chorus] We're all just a little bit broken (Yeah) We're all just a little bit hurt (Yeah) We've all got wounds half open (Yeah) We all can use a little work A little work, a little work
