Anthem

I've made mistakes I know you're mad, so please let me explain I won't pretend it's fine but now I'm thinking more clearly Since I've been back on my feet Life just got the best of me I lost myself, and couldn't find the key So I tried to break free Now I believe That life is short and death is bittersweet I needed a reminder that not everything's easy And I'm still understanding What my place in all this means But I'll do my best with what the future brings I've gotta learn to love me All I need Is an anthem I can sing out every day A battle cry to take my pain away I'll try harder just the same But I need an anthem An anthem can save me An anthem can save me (An anthem can save me) I'm sorry now for what I did I only wanted peace I know you may not understand But I was down and looking for release Release, yeah So I tried to break free All I need Is an anthem I can sing out every day A battle cry to take my pain away I'll try harder just the same But I need an anthem An anthem can save me All I need I an anthem that can take me far away A song that tells me everything's okay I'll try harder just the same But I need an anthem An anthem can save me An anthem can save me
