Somedays I'm feeling like I can't win, can't get it right and It don't matter how hard I try Today is not my day When it feels like I'm going crazy And it looks like nothing's changing Come sun come rainy day You are still the same In the dark, in the light In the morning and night In the good, in the hurt In the places I hide When I rise, when I fall You'll be there through it all At the start, at the end In the center of the center of it Some nights I lay awake and I can't push these thoughts away I'm worried where I'm gonna go Where I'm gonna be are You gonna be there for me When it feels like the doors are closing Gotta trust that You're doing something Come sun come rainy day You are all I need There will be days I will forget Everything You've done for me But when I go back there again I'm reminded In the dark, in the light In the morning and the night In the dark, in the light In the morning and night In the good, in the hurt In the places I hide When I rise, when I fall You'll be there through it all At the start, at the end In the center of the center of it In the loss, in the win In the beauty and the sin At the start, at the end In the center of the center of it
