I didn't know real pain till I fell down
I never knew how to swim until I nearly drowned
I didn't know relief till I broke down...
Oh that was the best day

I didn't hindsight until it broke my heart
I didn't know how to sail until the winds blew so hard
And hard ships I sailed and hardships left scars...
Oh, that was the best day...
And I just have to say

Oh Anna, lift your head
Come on Anna, the doctor said Oh Anna I can see you're running, running around upset
Oh Anna, lift your head
Come on Anna, you're not the walking dead
Oh Anna, it will get harder, harder if you don't get a grip...

I didn't know how to fight until I went to war
I didn't know what I had until I had gone too far
And when she broke my heart I started playing guitar...
OH, that was the best day...

Oh Anna, lift your head
Come on Anna, the doctor said Oh Anna I can see you're running, running around upset
Oh Anna, lift your head
Come on Anna, you're not the walking dead
Oh Anna, it will get harder, harder if you don't get a grip...

You stare at that bitterness you just might lose your sight. (lost my sight)
It's like drinking the poison and hoping the other guy dies. (lost my sight)
Oh how I know I'm halfway blind...

Oh Anna, lift your head
Come on Anna, the doctor said Oh Anna I can see you're running, running around upset
Oh Anna, lift your head
Come on Anna, you can handle it
Oh Anna, it will get harder, harder if you don't get a grip...

Annabelle we never chose the war, will you choose to fight?
