Survive Lyrics

[Verse 1] How long till it feels Like the wound's finally starting to heal? How long till it feels Like I'm more than a spoke in a wheel? [Pre-Chorus] Most nights, I fear That I'm not enough I've had my share of Monday mornings when I can't get up But, when hope is lost And I come undone [Chorus] I swear to God, I'll survive If it kills me to I'm gonna get up and try If it's the last thing I do I've still got something to give Though it hurts sometimes I'm gonna get up and live Until the day that I die I swear to God, I'll survive [Verse 2] How long till you know That, in truth, you know nothing at all? How far will you go To get back to the place you belong?
