"Who You Are" lyrics

"Who You Are"

She tells me love is like a train
And she keeps falling off again
I guess she’s sick of being left behind
She says this story’s all the same
so full of circumstance and shame
I guess she’s sick of watching life pass by

I said What keeps you going?
What keeps you waking up?
She just smiles and shrugs her shoulders and says,
You know, it’s not so tough.
‘Cause if there’s one thing in life that I’ve learned so far
its that we’re all a little stronger than we think we are
and you bend a little farther
or you can stay just how you are
just how you are.

She says There must be more than this
I work two jobs to feed two kids
and it’s been two months since he left without goodbye
I’ve still got bills to pay
the world feels heavier every day
its only getting harder for me just to try

I said What keeps you going?
What keeps you waking up?
She just smiles and shrugs her shoulders and says,
You know, it’s not so tough.
‘Cause if there’s one thing in life that I’ve learned so far
its that we’re all a little stronger than we think we are
and you bend a little farther
or you can stay just how you are
just how you are.

She said I’m trying to have faith
but even food has lost its taste
my greatest fear is I’ll be left here all alone
She said I miss him every day
all I can do is pray their safe reliving memories
oh we used to call this home
she said Sammy I need something
just for once in my life
I need someone else to tell me everything will be alright

I said There’s one thing in life
that I’ve learned so far
its that we’re all a little stronger than we think we are
And you can bend a little farther
but just remember who you are
who you are
