Somebody told me
That I won't amount to nothing
And maybe he was onto something
But I'm trying anyway
Even the T.V.
Couldn't stop my mind from running
Out of breath in vague discussion
Every time it goes astray
But I know it's gonna be alright
Well, it might not be today
And it might not be tonight
But I know it's gonna be alright, sometimes
I used to drink too much
To numb my sense of feeling
It was easier than dealing with
Whatever came my way
And they say lightning
Never strikes the same spot two times
But I've felt this way a few times
So I don't know who's to blame
Still, I know it's gonna be alright
Just as long as there's a reason
I'll keep putting up a fight
Cause I know it's gonna be alright
Sometimes, I wonder if it's worth it
Sometimes, I wonder what's the point
When I know it's gonna be alright
But I know it's gonna be alright
Well, it might not be today
And it might not be tonight
But I know it's gonna be alright
Somebody told me
That I won't amount to nothing
And maybe he was onto something
But I'm trying anyway
