I Know What It's Like - Amanda Shires

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
