Lyrics

Beaten Down

Your big ol' heart takes a lot on Shoulders the world It takes a lot to unfold And you compromise so Don't try to understand Your big ol' heart gets beaten down It ain't beaten down It ain't beaten down It ain't beaten down It ain't beaten down Don't you hear it beating now? We're dig on life You try to see her But she wants you back And you see it all over her face Our freedom We breathe in We have a good life Then you see her like that Your big ol' heart gets beaten down It ain't beaten down It ain't beaten down It ain't beaten down It ain't beaten down Mmm Don't get shot down in the dark alley Where the air is smoke And we're so misunderstood Your big ol' heart gets beaten down It ain't beaten down It ain't beaten down It ain't beaten down It ain't beaten down Don't mean you're beaten now
