Remember when you stepped out in the crowd
The roar of applause so deafening now
Fans call out your name and hope you'd hear them
Headlines that made your parents proud
Cameras light up your face in your victory round
Settling scores with rivals when you went near them
Just as you put that all behind you
This shows up and tries to break you
A body that once could do no wrong
Shuts down in ways that don't belong
It doesn't marry up with the man you once were
It's a fall from grace you don't deserve
As you reach out unsteadily to her
She takes your hand in hers and gently says
I got you, I got you, I got you
Now when sleep won't come at night
Body and mind can't help but fight
Theres no rest cause there's no freedom
Just as you put that all behind you
This shows up and tries to break you
A body that once could do no wrong
Shuts down in ways that don't belong
It doesn't marry up with the man you once were
It's a fall from grace you don't deserve
As you reach out unsteadily to her
She takes your hand in hers and gently says
And even when it hurts to speak
And even when it's hard to breathe
In these moments when it's hard to carry on
I got you, I got you, I got you
I got you, I got you, I got you
A body that once could do no wrong
Shuts down in ways that don't belong
It doesn't marry up with the man you once were
It's a fall from grace you don't deserve
As you reach out unsteadily to her
She takes your hand in hers and gently says
I got you, I got you, I got you
