Can't Let It Win

Instrumental Intro

Verse 1

I know darkness very well, my friend

I fight it every day to the bitter end

It tries to drag me down, but I can't let it win

I wake up tired and face it all again

It knows my voice, it knows my name

Knows how to make each failure sound the same

I take it with me when I leave this room

And bring it home each afternoon

Pre-Chorus

Some days I hold my ground

Some days I just get through

It tells me nothing's changed

Like nothing ever could

Chorus

I can't let it win

Can't give it all of me

I've lived beneath this weight

Longer than you can see

I don't need to beat it all

To make it through today

I can't let it win

I'm staying anyway

Instrumental Post-Chorus

Verse 2

I've learned to laugh without explaining why

Some days it takes so much to meet your eyes

You ask me how I've been, I say I'm fine

The words come out before I've had the time

There are mornings when the noise is low

I almost trust myself to let it go

Then one old thought brings everything back

And every good day feels like something I imagined

Pre-Chorus

Some days I hold my ground

Some days I just get through

It tells me nothing's changed

Like nothing ever could

Chorus

I can't let it win

Can't give it all of me

I've lived beneath this weight

Longer than you can see

I don't need to beat it all

To make it through today

I can't let it win

I'm staying anyway

Breakdown

My own voice

Against me

My own mind

Won't leave me be

I hear it

I know it

I don't have to

Believe it

Final Chorus

I can't let it win

Can't give it all of me

I've lived beneath this weight

Longer than you can see

I don't need to beat it all

To make it through today

I can't let it win

I'm staying anyway

Outro

I know darkness very well, my friend

Today it didn't win
