Sometimes the world is an ending
and sometimes there's a hell to pay
When all your so-called friends just leave you
and all that's to blame seems to be you.
Then I'll back you up at least i'll try to do so
When all that you see is a darkness
and all that you fear is so real
When memories haunt you when sleeping
and they're stabbing your stomach,
I won't let you fall, cause I'll back you up
chorus:
When somebody knocks you down, some other will pick you up
When somebody knocks you down,
some won't be there when you need them,
while others will save you from harm.
Some promise the world
if you give them your world
Well I hope that you know me by now
Sometimes you break expectations,
it's like slapping them all in the face
Sometimes you choose your own answers,
forgetting the ones that all others say.
Then I'll still back you up
Chorus
Sometimes the world is an ending
and sometimes there's a hell to pay
