Gettin' Up

(Verse 1) Life, you fickle friend, you twist and turn the tide Built me castles in the sand, then watched the ocean rise Promised sunshine, then unleashed the pouring rain Left me shivering, picking up the pieces of my name (Chorus) But I'm done playing your little game, this pawn you push around No more punches to the gut, no more falling to the ground This heart that's bruised and battered, it's learned to fight back now Gonna pick myself up, dust myself off, and show you what I'm about (Verse 2) You threw me curveballs, one by one, a never ending string Jobless, broke, and heartbroken, thought I couldn't take another swing But somewhere in the darkness, a tiny spark ignited A flicker of defiance, a will that couldn't be invited (Chorus) 'Cause I'm done playing your little game, this pawn you push around No more punches to the gut, no more falling to the ground This heart that's bruised and battered, it's learned to fight back now Gonna pick myself up, dust myself off, and show you what I'm about (Bridge) You might have knocked me down a few times, left me gasping for air But every scar you carved on me, a reminder I can bear The weight of all the trials, the lessons learned in pain They're the fuel that drives me forward, t oken, thought I couldn't take another swing But somewhere in the darkness, a tiny spark ignited A flicker of defiance, a will that couldn't be invited (Chorus) 'Cause I'm done playing your little game, this pawn you push around No more punches to the gut, no more falling to the ground This heart that's bruised and battered, it's learned to fight back now Gonna pick myself up, dust myself off, and show you what I'm about (Bridge) You might have knocked me down a few times, left me gasping for air But every scar you carved on me, a reminder I can bear The weight of all the trials, the lessons learned in pain They're the fuel that drives me forward, the fire in my veins (Chorus) 'Cause I'm done playing your little game, this pawn you push around No more punches to the gut, no more falling to the ground This heart that's bruised and battered, it's learned to fight back now Gonna pick myself up, dust myself off, and show you what I'm about (Outro) Yeah, I'm gonna show you what I'm about This ain't your game anymore, life, this is my shout I'm rising from the ashes, stronger than before And you won't break me, life, not anymore 'Cause I'm done playing your little game, this pawn you push around No more punches to the gut, no more falling to the ground This heart that's bruised and battered, it's learned to fight back now Gonna pick myself up, dust myself off, and show you what I'm about (Outro) Yeah, I'm gonna show you what I'm about This ain't your game anymore, life, this is my shout I'm rising from the ashes, stronger than before And you won't break me, life, not anymore
