[Chorus]
I can't tell you
I can't tell you how many times that I've wanted, I've wanted to quit
I can't tell you
I can't tell you how many times that I've wanted, I've wanted to run

[Post-Chorus]
Gotta stay strong
Gotta stay strong, my friend
Gotta stay strong
There's no one in the end to watch you run

[Verse]
Keep step with me
If you forget take a breath
Keep me in your mind
There's no one left here
I feel my spine move every step
Bring me one step closer to escape
Realizing all is fake
The illusion of being awake
I hope my son know that he's made to walk the sun
You can run, decide to fight or fly, I may
Choose to ride the lightning miles away
I hope my son know that he's made to walk the sun
I hope my son know daddy's proud of what he's done
I hope you live to shoot another day
You'd better brought some bullets in your gun
The night, the day, the time decay
Our bodies escape from us
Why do we have to prey on each other quite so much?
There is no answer to these questions, learn your lesson
Walk away from awesome power
Blessings come with practice
On our backs is all this weight
Some can't handle knowing it's their fate
[Bridge]
And they wanna go back, oh yeah
And they tryna go back, oh yeah
But there ain't no goin' back, oh no
Yeah, there's only one path, oh yeah
And they wanna go back, oh yeah
Yeah, they tryna go back, oh yeah
But there ain't no goin' back, oh no
Yeah, there's only one path, oh yeah

[Chorus]
I can't tell you
I can't tell you how many times that I've wanted, I've wanted to quit
I can't tell you
I can't tell you how many times that I've wanted, I've wanted to run

[Post-Chorus]
But I gotta stay strong (Gotta stay strong), my friend
But I gotta stay strong (But I gotta stay strong), in the end
To watch you run
