Lyrics

TELL ME WE'RE GONNA MAKE IT

VERSE ONE
Got up today after a sleepless night
Thinkin’ about the fight they had last night They battled it out, after the bottles run out I’m wonderin’ where will we move to now?

VERSE TWO
Daddy’s boozin’ again
Can’t keep a job for us kids
And Momma’s out at the bar
Meetin’ lots of guy friends
Goin’ home for lunch
Meant workin’ the store at the front and sellin’ candy to friends
Cause my Mom was fucked up

CHORUS
Tell me, we’re gonna make it We’re gonna make it
We’re gonna make it through

VERSE FOUR
Now that we’re grown
Admit it’s your final show
You know the rights things to say
And you’re sober today
But, a couple months out
We’re not surprised to find out
That you’re back in the game And moved back to his house

CHORUS
Tell me, we’re gonna make it We’re gonna make it
We’re gonna make it through

BRIDGE
Years have gone bye
You haven’t stopped to say hi
You haven’t been in my life
Since I was just a child
Finally clean, what would do differently?
Would you say your sorry, for forgettin’ ‘bout me?

CHORUS
Tell me, you’re gonna make it You’re gonna make it
You’re gonna make it through
Tell me, you’re gonna make it
Cause we’re gonna make it
With or without you now
