Hell or High Water

Is this as bad as it gets, or is it gonna get better?
Is this some kind of test, or will it be like this forever?
'Cause I ain't ever see a cloud this dark
And I ain't ever been down this far
Is this as bad as it gets, or is it gonna get better?

I know it ain't gonna be no easy ride
And what doesn't kill you makes you stronger
But I'm running out of places I can hide
And everyday, it's like the nights get longer
When I close my eyes, yeah, the waves get high and the flames get hotter
So I'm asking myself 'cause I can't tell if this is hell or just high water

Is the tide gonna turn, or will it keep on rising?
Is it all gonna burn, and it strikes like lightning?
'Cause I'm fighting and I'm just
Hangin' on to any thread of hope
Wonderin' if I should just let go
'Cause it's killin' me to just keep on climbin'
Lookin' for a silver lining

I know it ain't gonna be no easy ride
And what doesn't kill you makes you stronger
But I'm running out of places I can hide
And everyday, it's like the nights get longer
When I close my eyes, yeah, the waves get high and the flames get hotter
So I'm asking myself 'cause I can't tell if this is hell or just high water
(Just high water)

Oh, will it ever be over?
Oh, am I two-steps back, or one step closer

I know it ain't gonna be no easy ride
And what doesn't kill you makes you stronger
But I'm running out of places I can hide
And everyday, it's like the nights get longer
When I close my eyes, yeah, the waves get high and the flames get hotter
But I'm myself 'cause I know damn well that this ain't hell
It's just high water

High water
It's just high water
