"I Know What It's Like" lyrics

"I Know What It's Like"

I know what it's like
To want to give up on the fight
To want so much to run away
To have nothing left to say

I know what it's like
To see no end in sight
No wind, no light
No finish line

To say the world's knocked you down
Dealt you a right cross to the crown
With everyone standing around
I've buckled and hit the ground

I know what it's like
To want more out of life
To see the beauty in a blade
To feel lost and afraid

To think you could laugh
If you weren't howling in pain
To think you'll always be last
I've lost myself that way

I know what it's like
To see no end in sight
No wind, no light
No finish line

To say the world's knocked you down
Dealt you a right cross to the crown
With everyone standing around
I buckled and hit the ground

I know what it's like
To want to give up on the fight
To want so much to run away
To have nothing left to say
