[Verse 1]
If you feel like your world is coming down around you
Or you feel like this world is looking down upon you
The only way is up
But if you change, you gotta wanna
And if you don’t, then you’ll definitely be a goner
And it’s okay if you break down or break through
I’ll be here if you need me to remind you
You’re not the first and you’re not the last
It only gets worse if you’re living in the past

[Pre-Chorus]
Open your eyes and you will see
'Cause I still believe...

[Chorus]
Sometimes, you've gotta lose everything
To find out that you’ve always been running blind
You gotta keep your head up
When the world won’t let up
Sometimes, you've gotta leave everything
To find out what you don’t want to leave behind
You gotta keep your head up
When the world won’t let up

[Verse 2]
So, when you feel like everybody's out to get you
L-O-V-E yourself; it will protect you
And when the dust settles, and you have your breakthroughs
M-U-R-D-E-R all the pain, it will
Set you free, everybody like me
Just reach for the sky while you rise and you see
You’re not the first, and you’re not the last
It only gets worse if you’re living in the past
[Pre-Chorus]
Open your eyes and you will see
'Cause I still believe...

[Chorus]
Sometimes, you've gotta lose everything
To find out that you’ve always been running blind
You gotta keep your head up
When the world won’t let up
Sometimes, you've gotta leave everything
To find out what you don’t want to leave behind
You gotta keep your head up
When the world won’t let up

[Bridge]
Hey, even though it hurts like hell, we have to bleed
Hey, even when we fight for air, we keep on breathing
Hey, even if you've lost yourself, you still have me
Hey, even if you hate yourself and have no reason

[Pre-Chorus]
I still believe in
I still believe in
I still believe in
I still believe in...
[Chorus]
Sometimes, you've gotta lose everything
To find out that you’ve always been running blind
You gotta keep your head up
When the world won’t let up
Sometimes, you've gotta leave everything
To find out what you don’t want to leave behind
You gotta keep your head up
When the world won’t let up

[Outro]
You gotta keep your head up
'Cause the world won't let up
Keep your head up
You gotta keep your head up
'Cause the world won't let up
