Tough

Every little part of me is holding onto every little piece you
It's holding on to every drop of blood you drew
It's holding onto you
And every waking hour I spend
Holding on for reasons not to go to bed
I'm holding on for someone else to hold instead
If every hope of you is dead
'Cause every night since you cut and run
I feel like the only one
Who's ever been the lonely one
Trying to mend a heart that keeps breaking
With every step that you're taking
'Cause you've been running circles 'round
My mind, turning me inside out
And I fell for you but hit the ground
'Cause the only love I've known has let me
Down and I need lifting up
Now you ain't here, I'm sleeping rough
And I pray, but I can't pray enough
'Cause waking up without you, it's so tough
I'd finally like to find my feet
When I keep on stumbling over you and me
But I keep on trying 'cause I know I need
To outrun the memories
And every day I’m reminded of
The way I let it come undone
And I feel like the lonely one, the only one
With time worth wasting
Well, I still can’t stop chasing
'Cause you've been running circles 'round
My mind, turning me inside out
And I fell for you but hit the ground
'Cause the only love I've known has let me
Down and I need lifting up
Now you ain't here, I'm sleeping rough
And I pray but I can't pray enough
'Cause waking up without you, it's so tough, oh
Tough, oh, tough
Waking up without you
Stay out
Thought I was talking to you
Stay out
I guess I'm talking to myself
Me and nobody else
'Cause you've been running circles 'round
My mind, turning me inside out
And I fell for you but hit the ground
'Cause the only love I've known has let me
Down and I need lifting up
Now you ain't here I'm sleeping rough
And I pray but I can't pray enough
'Cause waking up without you, it's so tough
