I Survive

[Verse 1] Holding on with all I have inside For the sake of my life I'm pulled underwater Crying out I call For anyone to share this fight But I'm sinking farther [Pre-Chorus] So weathered Worn and battered I will stay Keep treading As I'm dreading the waves [Chorus] My hands are tied But I will make it I'm not shaken Even when my mind's exhausted, I survive And the world tries to drown you out (I survive) Flooding your life like water-filled lungs (I survive) [Verse 2] Waiting for the day This storm will pass and leave my life It only makes me stronger I don't want to wait But all that has been on my mind Is how much longer? [Pre-Chorus] So weathered Worn and battered I will stay Keep treading As I'm dreading the waves [Chorus] My hands are tied But I will make it I'm not shaken Even when my mind's exhausted, I survive And the world tries to drown you out (I survive) Flooding your life like water-filled lungs (I survive) And the waves try to wash you away (I survive) Brace yourself, head high, heart strong (I survive) I will keep my head and heart above the waves [Chorus] My hands are tied But I will make it I'm not shaken Even when my mind's exhausted, I survive My heart is tired but it's not breaking (It's not breaking) Now I'm awakened (I'm awakened) No matter what the cost is, I survive And the world tries to drown you out (I survive) Flooding your life like water-filled lungs (I survive) And the waves try to wash you away (I survive) Brace yourself, head high, heart strong (I survive)
