The Strength to Carry Lyrics by Jeremy Neale

We Were Trying to Make It Out

2020

[Verse 1]
I kinda thought that I was more the stoic type
Not great to live a lie, but nice to live with hope
Yeah, I hope
[Verse 2]
And just this morning I thanked God I felt alive
And yeah, I can't deny that I’m not living right
But I cope
But I've been thinking about the past and I can't let go
And nobody knows
[Pre-Chorus]
That I’m always tearing myself down
For something I said long ago
And you're always kind when I need time
But I'm never kind to myself
[Chorus]
You're looking for the strength to carry
I've been looking for the same all of my life
You're looking for the strength to carry
This is the light when you are afraid of the dark
You're looking for someone to cling to
And I'm trying my best all of the time
Keep holding my head underwater
This is the night when I take control of my life
[Verse 3]
I kept daydreaming like I’d cross the finish line
And all the sacrifice, I’d leave it all behind
I suppose
But I've been thinking about my life for a long, long time
And I still can’t get it right
[Pre-Chorus]
And I'm always tearing myself down, for something I did long ago
And you're always kind when I need time
But I'm never kind to myself
[Chorus]
You’re looking for the strength to carry
I've been looking for the same all of my life
You're looking for the strength to carry
This is the light when you are afraid of the dark
You're looking for someone to cling to
And I'm trying my best all of the time
Keep holding my head underwater
This is the night when I take control of my life
