The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.

No more waking up with a "what-was-I-thinking"

Mahalia's singing how she got over

You could have it all if you just try harder

Make it to the end without going under

I've been here before

Though I don't like to say it, it's usual problem

When'd you become such a faithless man?

It's easy to forget that the recent wave of helpful confidence

Grew from the one you're leaving now

No more waking up with a "what-was-I-thinking"

(Bad days rule me now)

Mahalia's singing how she got over

(Someone turn that down)

You could have it all if you just try harder

(Please don't watch me now)

Make it to the end without going under

(i'm not ready now)

I believe you know

That you feel it on the night's you're all alone

That life's not some glossy love song

You have got to work for good things in this world

A good person's worth overtime

Overtime

Growing over time

No more waking up with a "what-was-I-thinking"

(Bad days rule me now)

Mahalia's singing how she got over

(Someone turn that down)

You could have it all if you just try harder

(harder harder)

Make it to the end without going under
