Fortunate

Lyrics

[Verse 1] My life These days Busy friends And late trains A mattress on the floor In a city that's been good to me All this distraction from my old life It haunts my decisions and plagues my mind 'Cause after all I'm just a kid Who's aspiration's were never more than dreams But they still remain [Chorus] I'm not going anywhere (Anywhere) I've fought so hard just to stand here Overwhelming silence (Silence) I found where I belong I needed this [Verse 2] And as smoke leaves my lungs From my last cigarette I'll fight my last fight In a desperate attempt To prove that I'm worth it Worth your attention Portrayed my rendition Of a broken boy I'm so tired of hiding Behind my pen It only goes to paper What comes off my chest But I can't forget [Verse 3] I've struggled to find a place that I could stay Because settling has never been an option for me I'd trade it in to never feel afraid But everything goes away [Chorus] I'm not going anywhere (Anywhere) I've fought so hard just to stand here Overwhelming silence (Silence) I found where I belong I needed this [Bridge] According to me I'm my own worst enemy I can't keep a simple promise Or even swear on anything The bottle attached to my hand Proves addiction makes For a lesser man And I can't muster up The motivation To break away From this fucking pattern [Chorus] I'm not going anywhere (Anywhere) I've fought so hard just to stand here Overwhelming silence (Silence) I found where I belong I needed this
