Comeback Kid
The Band Perry Lyrics

They like to kick you when you're down
People enjoy hurting you when you are already struggling.

They like it better when you're there on the ground
People prefer to see you at your lowest point.

And up 'til now I've never made a sound
I have been silent about my struggles.

I bet they've never had a broken heart
They have never felt the pain of heartbreak.

But they sure know how to beat the hell out of one
However, they are experts at causing heartache and pain.

Sometimes I think they do it just for the fun
I feel as though they enjoy causing pain to others.

But no, I'm not leaving, even though I'm bleeding
Despite being hurt, I refuse to give up.

Even though this nightmare makes me wish I was dreaming
Although my situation is awful, I cannot escape from it.

Even though I hate it, I'm gonna take it
Despite how much I loathe what I am going through, I will endure it.

Until I win
I will not give up until I come out victorious.

'Cause I'm a comeback, I'm a comeback kid
My strength and resilience will allow me to overcome my struggles.

Don't know why bad things happened, but they did
I cannot understand why I am facing such difficulties.

I don't think I deserve the hurt I get, but I'm made for it
While I do not believe I deserve the hardships I face, I know that I can handle them.

It's not the end, no, it's not the end
Although it may seem like my situation is hopeless, it is not.

Down for a minute, I'll get up again
Though I may have fallen briefly, I will stand up and continue fighting.

Looks like I'm breaking, but it's just a bend; it's not over yet
Although I may appear close to defeat, I am not giving up.

I'm gonna finish what I started now
I am determined to see my goals through to completion.

You interrupted me with all your doubts
Your disbelief in me has briefly slowed me down.

How dare you forget where I started out
You should not disregard my past accomplishments.

I believe in what I am, I believe in what I was
I have faith in my current self and my past self.

I believe in losing you, I've never been given so much
Losing you has been painful, but it has also taught me much about myself.

I believe it's been a year, the worst one I've ever lived
This past year has been incredibly difficult for me.

I believe I'm better now than I have ever been
Despite my struggles, I have grown stronger and wiser.

I believe that ever since everything went south
Since everything took a turn for the worse,

I believed in every word that ever came out of my mouth
I have always been genuine and honest.

I believe you missed me, but you don't have to miss me, 'cause
I trust that you have missed me, but I am not leaving again.

Not leaving again, I'm not leaving
I am here to stay and fight through my challenges.

I'll save you a spot at my big parade
When I come out victorious, you will be invited to celebrate with me.

You're all invited on my comeback day
My success is not just for me but for everyone who believed in me.

I'll serve you ice cream and lemonade
The celebration will be sweet and joyous.
