Motivation

(album: These Days - 2017)

You think you know who I am
But you don't have a clue
You ain't nothing but a stranger

Your words may hurt for a while
But after a while
They can only make me stronger

And I do, do the best that I can
But you keep bringing me down
Don't you know I'm only human?
And I never said that I was perfect
And I'm still learning
Every day I'm getting better

Everything that you say and
Anything that you do to try to hurt me
I use it as motivation

Go on try to shame me and
Tell me how you hate me
It won't break me
I use it as motivation

No matter, no matter how hard I try
I know that in your eyes
I'll never be good enough

So easy for you to just assume things
Yeah you know you can't judge me
When you've never walked a mile in these shoes

Everything that you say and
Anything that you do to try to hurt me
I use it as motivation

Go on try to shame me and
Tell me how you hate me
It won't break me
I use it as motivation

Oh oh
I use it as motivation

I walk a little faster
I scream a little louder
I work a little harder

I run a little faster
I scream a little louder
I use it as motivation

Everything that you say and
Anything that you do to try to hurt me
I use it as motivation

Go on try to shame me and
Tell me how you hate me
It won't break me
I use it as motivation

Oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh
I use it as motivation
