Orla Gartland
The Ground
[Verse 1]
Try your worst
'Cause I've heard it all, and just stuck on a brave face and tried to walk tall
And you can tell me that I've changed and you can look me in the eye
I've got tricks up my sleeve as I wave goodbye

[Pre-Chorus]
I like to think that I am stronger now than I was before
But now I'm having trouble showing you the door

[Chorus]
But oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh
I'm on my ro-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-oad
And I've got my map in hand but I just don't know where I stand
And now I'm here
P-p-picking my pieces off the ground
P-p-picking my pieces off the ground

[Verse 2]
We need to let the negativity slack and get the positivity back
I need a smile that isn't fake
But I'mma need your help for goodness' sake, your help

[Verse 3]
I'm sick of being a drifter, being a floater
"Go away and get the boat"-er
No one wants you here, why can't you see
But I was living life through someone else's eyes but now I'm finally back to me
[Pre-Chorus]
I like to think that I am stronger now than I was before
But now I'm having trouble showing you the door

[Chorus]
But oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh
I'm on my ro-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-oad
And I've got my map in hand but I just don't know where I stand
And now I'm here
P-p-picking my pieces off the ground
P-p-picking my pieces off the ground
P-p-picking my pieces off--

[Bridge]
The ground you stand on
Ground that looks you in the eye
The ground you stand on
Ground that you will just walk by
The ground you stand on
Ground that looks you in the eye
The ground you stand on
Ground that you will just walk by

[Chorus]
Oh-oh-oh
Oh-oh-oh
Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh
I'm on my ro-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-oad
And I've got my map in hand but I just don't know where I stand
And now I'm here
P-p-picking my pieces off the ground
P-p-picking my pieces off the ground
