[Intro: Sean Maverick]
Sean Mav and D-tin
Had to come back with another one again
(Ha!) D-tin and Sean Mav
Time for piece of mind that's something I never had
Looking real far to my goals, I'm eye-balling it
This train of thought is just so exhausting
Voices in my head telling me to stop, they're calling it
(Ha!) I'm just feeling like I lost it
(What should I do?...)
[Hook: D-tin & Sean Maverick]
Keep your head high
Put down the knife
Keep your head high (High)
And don't say goodbye
[Verse 1: D-tin]
My life isn't perfect, but it's definitely not the worst
I was sick in the head, obsessed, but thankfully I was nursed
I was emotionally deteriorating the more that I fell
For someone that I had no chance with, it's like I was trapped in Hell
And I knew it was impossible, but I wanted you so bad!
I couldn't stop thinking about you, but one and one didn't add
You almost sent me to jail, and I knew I was in the wrong
But everyone kept saying that you were the one who was wrong all along
They said you were a c*nt who needed to get shot in the face
And I took up for you, why the f** would I do that in the first place?
You hated me, despised me, probably even wanted me to die!
You can't even understand how many times, because of you, I've cried!
Because you didn't give me a chance, but that's all you've done
The rest of it was my fault, so I'm the one who deserves that gun
Thankfully we've put it all behind us, and the drama's gone away
But I don't ever think I'll get over what I did to you those days
[Hook: D-tin]
Keep your head high
Put down the knife
Keep your head high
And don't say goodbye
[Hook: D-tin & Sean Maverick]
Keep your head high. (High.)
Put down the knife. (Knife.)
Keep your head high (High)
And don't say goodbye
[Verse 2: D-tin]
You and I had had our issues, our friendship was a rocky road
Leading to the edge of a cliff, and falling off really took its toll
On me, and I'll never understand why you had played me all these years
Lied to me when you didn't care and always wiped away my tears
Well if you didn't give a f**, why would you do the things you did?!
Why did you pick me up when I was down and when my heart was fatally hit?!
You were an angel through my eyes, I didn't see a single flaw
But now that I've heard the truth, I can't help but sit and ball
My f**ing eyes out every night cuz secretly you hated me
When I pretty much gave you everything, you never once appreciated me
I trusted you with all of it and you ripped my heart to shreds
Sometimes I think that I should've put myself down in that bed
I gave you my all, I could never do that for someone else
Nobody will ever mean that much to me, never again will I feel the way I felt
Maybe it would be better though, instead of doing this all wrong
To be thankful that I had you here in the first place, instead of grieving because you're gone
[Hook: D-tin]
Keep your head high
Put down the knife
Keep your head high
And don't say goodbye
[Hook: D-tin & Sean Maverick]
Keep your head high. (High.)
Put down the knife. (Knife.)
Keep your head high (High)
And don't say goodbye
[Verse 3: Sean Maverick]
(Yeah!)
There's been a chill that's been running down my bones
And I just can't leave well enough alone
You see, I'm becoming everything that I said that I wanna be, but I feel something's missin'
Like, I haven't fully accomplished my mission, I'm on my P's and Q's, you know I've been about my business
But my conscious has got me in a state of suspicion
I tie my shoelaces but I keep on trippin'
(Ha!) Do you know what it's like to have your dreams taken away from you?
I didn't think so, let me explain it you
It's like you've sacrificed everything, but here's the thing
Nobody cares what you've done, it's quite tampering
Don't let these people tell you what you're supposed to do
Feel like everything that you do, you do it for you
That's how it's supposed to be, don't let nobody bring you down
Do what D-tin says and turn that frown upside down. (Upside down!)
[Hook: D-tin]
Keep your head high
Put down the knife
Keep your head high
And don't say goodbye
[Hook: D-tin & Sean Maverick]
Keep your head high. (High.)
Put down the knife. (Knife.)
Keep your head high (High)
And don't say goodbye
[Verse 4: D-tin]
Keep your head high because it's never as bad as it seems
Now I've got my best friend back and we're an unstoppable team
And the first girl has forgiven me as far as I know
Just let time run its course and it'll all be fine if you let it go
Now I'm happier than ever and nothing can bring me down
I'm flying as high as a kite, those chains no longer keep me bound
Since I kept my chin up, and I kept looking towards the stars
I was able to accomplish writing positivity in these bars
I thank God for allowing me to finally be free
Free from all of the bullsh** from the past that had hurt me
No one hates me, I'm not alone, I now have no worries in the world
I question myself when looking back at the kid who was curled
Up in the fetal position in the corner crying his eyes out
Whenever I look back at that I wonder what it was about
Because as soon as I flipped my lips, everything became okay
Just keep your head held high and I promise that you'll see a better day
[Hook: D-tin & Sean Maverick]
Keep your head high. (High.)
Put down the knife. (Knife)
Keep your head high (High)
And don't say goodbye. (Goodbye.)
