All my life, I've been a little bit f**ed up And all my family turned away But every day, I try to be better In every way But I don't have to prove a thing to you You don't know me and I don't owe you, do I? I've done d** and my share of drinking And all my friends have been right there with me And Money's tight but some things will get better And we'll be alright CHORUS: It's not a lie when I say, things could be better Not a lie when I pray for things to get better When I say I'm alright, don't look in my eyes Cause I'm not alright (but I'm trying) Life is hard, but I've got my armour Everything bounces off of me Everytime someone tries to get me Victory is mine I don't wanna do the thing to do that Erase me and embrace you (do I?) CHORUS REPEAT (But I'm trying to be alright) All my life, I've been f**ed up And all my family's turned away But every day, I keep trying To win someday CHORUS REPEAT (But I'm still trying) CHORUS REPEAT
