Resilient

Oh here we go again

Twisting in the wind 

Another head-on crash with

Murphy’s stupid law

Trip and then ya fall

Another broken bone for the list

They all say something’s gotta give

Hey, it’s always been the play

Die another day

Wake up tomorrow and do it again

But I’m just numb

Not strong

Or that dirty word Resilient

Pulled on my bootstraps

But I’m drowning just the same

Drowning just the same

Skin turning black and blue

Guess I missed my cue

I was supposed to grin and

Bear another load

Take another blow

Fix my makeup steady my hand

Strike up the band

Hey, it’s always been the play

Die another day

Wake up tomorrow and do it again

But I’m just numb

Not strong

Or that dirty word Resilient

Pulled on my bootstraps

But I’m drowning just the same

Drowning just the same

I’m not gonna bounce back this time

I’m not gonna walk your tightrope lines

So tired of playing the part

Of the girl with the broken heart

Hey, it’s always been the play

Die another day

Wake up tomorrow and do it again

But I’m just numb

Not strong

Or that dirty word Resilient

Pulled on my bootstraps

But I’m drowning just the same

Drowning just the same
