I know there's times
That you lay awake at night,
Thinking of all that was,
All that is
And all that could be.

I know there's times
When you feel weak.
You feel so empty
So numb
And so lost.

I know there's times
You wake in the night
From a nightmare.
Shaking,
Sweating
Crying.

I know there's times
You tried to fight it.
To act like you're ok
You are OK
You're fine.

I know there's times
You look in the mirror,  
See yourself looking back
But who is that?
Is it you?

I know there's times
That you wish
You could go back in time.
Erase all the hurt
Erase all the pain.

Truth is though
You can't turn back,
You can't erase it all.

You can't think,
You can't sleep.
You feel sick to the stomach.
But you keep on fighting

Fighting for another day,
Fighting to see the light
At the end of the tunnel.
Fighting for love.
Fighting for family.
Fighting for friendships.

You're stronger than most,
Stronger than me.
You keep on going.
You keep on fighting.
