Keep Your Head Up

Lyrics

Verse 1
I been through the fire, I know what that costs
Hands on my scars, I learned from the loss
Counted my breaths when my mind got loud
Held my own weight when I fell through the crowd

You said you’d be there, but the promise went thin
Seen that old pattern try to crawl back in
I don’t chase smoke, I don’t beg for proof
I got tools in my pocket, I got truth in my roots

One day at a time, that’s how I stand
Not with a perfect life, just a steady hand
If the room goes cold and the words all shift
I lean on what saved me, I don’t drift

Pre-Chorus
Take a step back
Breathe through the spin
Pick up the tools
And begin again

Chorus
Keep your head up
Keep your head up
When they fall short, stay strong

Keep your head up
Keep your head up
You got the tools to move on
(keep your head up)

Verse 2
I seen love make vows and then vanish fast
Seen bright talk crack when the hard days passed
But I’m not that kid that will fold and break
I learned how to bend without losing my shape

Call my sponsor, call my people, call on my grace
Put both feet down, I don’t have to race
Feel that hurt, then let it go
I don’t let one letdown run my whole road

If you said you’d change and you didn’t show
That’s your mirror, not my place to go
I won’t drink that poison, I won’t feed that fire
I can sit with the ache and still walk higher

Pre-Chorus
Take a step back
Breathe through the spin
Pick up the tools
And begin again

Chorus
Keep your head up
Keep your head up
When they fall short, stay strong

Keep your head up
Keep your head up
You got the tools to move on
(keep your head up)

Bridge
I don’t need revenge, I need clear eyes
I don’t need a war just to survive
I can feel the hit and still choose my lane
Turn that pain to proof, turn that loss to gain

Final Chorus
Keep your head up
Keep your head up
When they fall short, stay strong

Keep your head up
Keep your head up
You got the tools to move on
(keep your head up)

Keep your head up
Keep your head up
No matter what comes, hold on
