Waking up one morning
I looked in the mirror
Didn't recognize the face
Staring back at me
I decided then and there
I would do what I could
To restore my identity and sanity
But sometimes life will fight you tooth and nail
Keep you down no matter how much you weep and wail
And even if you think you're gaining ground
You're set up to fail
Finally laid my head down
After many years of travelling
Thinking that my life
Was back on track
But just when you think
You've got it all figured out
Life will stick a knife
In your back
Cause sometimes life will fight you tooth and nail
Keep you down no matter how much you weep and wail
And even if you think you're gaining ground
You're set up to fail
Cause sometimes life will fight you tooth and nail
Keep you down no matter how much you weep and wail
And even if you think you're gaining ground
You're set up to fail
