Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Here I am
Feels like the walls are closing in
Once again it's time to face it and be strong
I wanna do the right thing now
I know it's up to me somehow
I've lost my way
I never meant to let you all down
And now I've got to try to turn it all around
And figure out how to fix this
I know there's a way so I promise
I'm gonna clean up this mess I made
Maybe it's not to late
Maybe it's not to late, oh
So I'll take a stand
Even though it's complicated
If I can I wanna change the way I've made it
I've gotta do the right thing now
I know it's up to me somehow
I'll find my way
If I could take it all back I would now
I never meant to let you all down
And now I've got to try to turn it all around, yeah
And figure out how to fix this
I know there's a way so I promise
I'm gonna clean up the mess I made
Maybe it's not to late
I'm gonna find the strength
To be the one who that holds it all together
Show you that I'm sorry
But I know that we can make it better
If I could take it all back I would now
I never meant to let you all down
And now I've got to try to turn it all around
And figure out how to fix this
I know there's a way so I promise
I'm gonna clean up the mess I made
(Mess I made)
Maybe it's not to late
I never meant to let you all down
Now I've got to try (got to try) to turn it all around (all around)
And figure out how to fix this
I know there's a way so I promise (promise)
I'm gonna clean up this mess I made
Maybe it's not to late
Maybe it's not to late
