"Turn The Engine" lyrics

"Turn The Engine"

All I can do is try my best
Life hurts my feelings and puts my love to the test
When I'm alone I cry
At the end of the day I'm just thankful to get by

All I can do is all that I am
I tapped out yesterday but I'm back in the ring again
It's okay to cry
We're all in the same boat just trying to get by

It's hard to know
If and when you're at the end of your own rope
It's easy to be
Good to everyone but me

All that I feel is hardly real
I turn the engine and then my ego takes the wheel
I promise I try
But my defenses they feel senseless to defy

So I kick up the dust lose a little trust
Give up hope and then realize that I am just
Back up in my head
Like a needle just passing thread

It's hard to know
If and when you're at the end of your own rope
It's easy to be
Good to everyone but me

It's hard to know
If and when you're at the end of your own rope
It's easy to be
Good to everyone but me
It's easy to be
Good to everyone but me
