[00:29.43]Look at us here today
[00:34.43]Lots of talking with nothing to say
[00:39.56]And if I seem somewhat vague
[00:44.74]It s because I m somewhat afraid
[00:48.62]I m surviving, that s all I am
[00:53.44]I m surviving to be a better man
[00:58.49]I m surviving, that s my plan
[01:03.41]Just surviving
[01:05.74]
[01:09.61]Yesterday, I was sure
[01:15.20]But today I don t know anymore
[01:20.36]Thought I was brave till I saw
[01:25.11]My frightened reflection in a dark corridor
[01:29.06]Now I m surviving to be a better man
[01:33.64]I m surviving with an emotional plan
[01:38.57]I m surviving, so please understand
[01:42.40]I m surviving, surviving
[01:48.09]
[01:51.01]There are millions of people out there
[01:56.08]Trying to get by in a world that don t care
[02:01.60]People smiling through clouds of despair
[02:06.26]Protecting the wounds until they repair
[02:10.41]They re surviving the best way they can
[02:15.33]They are surviving every woman and man
[02:20.66]Just surviving with an emotion plan
[02:25.28]So keep surviving
[02:27.80]
[02:30.52]Maybe it s my shattered pride
[02:35.31]That s why I get scared of emotional ties
[02:41.39]Don t let them in, otherwise
[02:45.62]You ll smile like a fool
[02:47.55]But you ll be hurting inside
[02:49.95]So I m surviving through the insecurity
[02:55.03]I am surviving, I got hope inside of me
[03:00.27]So I m smiling through all the insanity
[03:04.89]I m surviving, surviving
[03:10.10]
[03:11.01]I was moved by the way that you said
[03:15.59]Don t be afraid, I won t leave you for dead
[03:20.83]You took my soul and mixed up my head
[03:25.31]You left me alive
[03:27.86]You should have killed me instead
[03:30.10]Now I m surviving, that s all I am
[03:35.10]I m surviving to be a better man
[03:39.96]I m surviving, that s my plan
[03:44.96]I m surviving, surviving
[03:54.11]Surviving...............ah..........
