I heard you never get dealt more than you can handle
But this might be it, you know we've had our doubts
The flicker of a flame from a dying candle
You said you'd never be the one to put it out
The light I see at the end of the tunnel's
Either daylight creeping or a fast train coming
Good Lord have a little mercy please
It's been a heartless year, but we're still hanging on
Gonna face our fears, gonna right these wrongs
I gotta laugh to hold back my tears
Crawling from a train wreck waiting out a heartless year

Dishes in the sink building up resentment
Stacks of bills hiding out for weeks
The kids keep asking when it's gonna be Christmas
But I'd be happy with the coal for the heat
The light I see at the end of the tunnel's
Either daylight creeping or a fast train coming
Good Lord have a little mercy please
It's been a heartless year, but we're still hanging on
Gonna face our fears, gonna right these wrongs
I gotta laugh to hold back my tears
Crawling from a train wreck waiting out a heartless year
A heartless year
