Get Up

And I fall
Most of all
I hang my failures
On the wall
Reminding myself
Why I crawl

Why, why
Why do I try?
Why don't I give up?
I'll always cry
Like autumn leaves
I'll whither and die

But those are words
Just words I've heard
From the mouth of
A flightless bird
I must keep in mind
That I won't die
That bird's not me
'Cause I can fly

So when I wish I was someone else
I have to learn to tell myself

"Get up, get up
You haven't lost yet
You have enough
So don't forget
You'll make it,
Though your eyes are wet
And though you're full of
Dark regret
This is a battle,
Not a bet
So get up, get up
'Cause you haven't lost yet."
