You should stand up stand up stand up and realize
This is where your heart belongs
It just kills me kills me kills me to see you always
Hope for a different ending
Verse 1:
I look around me, there’s no way out
Just the same old scene spinning again and again.
I never got why you wanted to leave
But now I get that we were not to blame.
Chorus:
You should stand up stand up stand up and realize
This is where your heart belongs
It just kills me kills me kills me to see you always
Hope for something different
You know you’re better better better than this
So how did we end up here?
There’s no way out way out way out of this habit
If you don’t wanna be honest with yourself
Verse 2:
Now I understand, why you’ve actually left.
Thinking there’s no way out aint quite easy
Well one thing’s clear, it’s not the way
Running away won’t do you any favors
I know this ain’t easy and its terrifying but you will have to face it eventually
Bridge:
I know this isn’t what you wanna hear
You think you can handle this
But trust me trust me trust me, no one can ever acheive this alone (X2)
You know this is exactly what you need to hear
If you want to handle this
And you were a goddamn fool if you thought you would acheive this alone
Outro:
There's always a reason
Why you'd wanna leave
Open your eyes
Don't mess up your life
The answer's right here
You should stand up
Just open your eyes
You don't have to leave
How'd we end up here?
