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,
It's 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,
It's 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,
It's 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, "If there’s one thing in life, that I’ve learned so far,
It's that we’re all a little stronger, than we think we are.
And you bend a little farther,
Or you can stay just who you are.
Oh who you are.
Who you are.
Who you are."

||I don't usually write notes, but I feel this necessary. There's so many people I want to dedicate this to, so I'm not dedicating it to anyone. I want you all to stay strong, please.||
