You Can't Kill Us lyrics

I swear to God, at night when I close my eyes

I can still see this little lost girl inside

And I don’t know how to help her, I don’t know what to do

Supposed to have this figured out but I’m so confused

For years I cried myself to sleep every night

Lived one day at time, trying to just stay alive

And I knew people had it worse, but that didn’t make me better

Took all I had inside just to hold myself together

But I knew I couldn’t stop, kept hoping one day

Maybe I’d make it to a stage and tell you it’s all ok

And that I love you, even if I haven’t met you yet

Hold on, stay strong, and never forget

[chorus]

We’ve been lost, been to the bottom

Beaten up, torn and forgotten

Still we fight, we will survive

Can’t kill the fire we feel inside

We’ve been burned, drained and depleted

Left alone, we’re not defeated

Still we fight, we will survive

Can’t kill the fire we feel inside

You can’t, you can’t kill us

You can’t, you can’t kill us

Every day I felt a little less pain inside

But at that rate I knew I'd hurt until the day I died

I refused to let the darkness have the last say

So when it came to call my name I had to run the other way

Maybe that’s what it takes, you have to tell the pain no

Have to let the sick parts of your heart finally go

Make room for the light, let it pull you in close

And if you’re ever feeling low, I think you know where to go

One day we’re gonna wake up, we’re gonna be alright

We’ll look back and be happy that we kept ourselves alive

We’ll honor where we came from, see what the hurt was for

But we don’t let our past hold us hostage anymore

'Cause we’ve got more to give, more to live, more to be,

More to who we are than our broken history

Like an army, we all know it’s not all better yet

But we hold on, stay strong, and never forget
