Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Cause' I might one day just drown in my sorrow (in my sorrow)
So I might not might not make it till' tomorrow (till' tomorrow)
Cause' I might one day just drown in my sorrow (in my sorrow)
Feeling euphoric but they killing me for it
Feeling euphoric they all killing me for it
So I might not might not make it till' tomorrow (till' tomorrow)
Cause' I might one day just drown in my sorrow (in my sorrow)
Will I make it till' tomorrow that's something that's never promised
I promise I'm being honest when I tell you that regardless
I'm always trying my hardest just to make it through the day
Cause' the pressure on me stay but I will never run away
I'll just step up to the plate even if I lose the race
Winning ain't everything
Even if I lost it all
I'd still have everything ya, I'd still have everything ya
I'd still have everything ya
Love yourself that's given
Look at everything isn't it something beautiful wishing
You could hear the truth listen, just listen
Listen to love, sometimes I don't think they listen enough
There's love all around
Start thinking different then things turn around
Sometimes I know it could be so tough
If you don't look down then things looks up
Sometimes I know it could be so tough
If you don't look down then things'll look up
So I might not might not make it till' tomorrow (till' tomorrow)
Cause' I might one day just drown in my sorrow (in my sorrow)
So I might not might not make it till' tomorrow (till' tomorrow)
Cause' I might one day just drown in my sorrow (in my sorrow)
Feeling euphoric but they killing me for it
Feeling euphoric they all killing me for it
So I might not might not make it till' tomorrow (till' tomorrow)
Cause' I might one day just drown in my sorrow (in my sorrow)
