Verse 1:
Help me find a way
Or a good reason to get up out of this bed
It seems no matter what I do or how much I make
It's never good enough.
To face the same problems, the same debts,
Sometimes even adds more stress.
And I don't know who claimed this a simple life
Try to walk in my shoes, see through my eyes.
People just don't seem real
Cause no matter what I do or how much I
Make it's never good enough.
Pre-Chorus:
Working takes up so much time
It eats your life away
It's hard to hold on to what I
Have cause I keep finding myself
Chorus:
Five steps forward
Ten steps back
Tryin' to get ahead
But keep fallin' off track.
Running around
And around again
(Repeat chorus)
Verse 2:
To pickup where you left off
Is all you have to look forward
To each day
How do you get ahead
When you're behind and the hole
You've dug gets deeper
Just to quit tryin is such a cop out
I couldn't cheat myself
And I don't Who claimed this a simple life
All the money I make
Barely gets me by but I keep hanging on
Cause no matter what I do or how much I
Make it's never good enough
Pre-Chorus:
Working takes up so much time
It eats your life away
It's hard to hold on to what I
Have cause I keep finding myself
Chorus:
Five steps forward
Ten steps back
Tryin' to get ahead
But keep fallin' off track.
Running around
And around again
(Repeat chorus)
Bridge: All the money I make
Barely gets me by. All the money
I make is never good enough.
Pre-Chorus:
Working takes up so much time
It eats your life away
It's hard to hold on to what I
Have cause I keep finding myself
Chorus:
Five steps forward
Ten steps back
Tryin' to get ahead
But keep fallin' off track.
Running around
And around again
(Repeat chorus)
