Lyrics Double Knot - Rivers

There′s not a single day
I don't wake up and face the world I know
(The same way you did)
Trying my hardest not to feel like everyone else
With no control over anything inside this home
My excuses for my defects in life they hinge, they fall
On examples that you gave with your time
But the sources, the reason are all a lie
But you′ll take the blame until the day I die

The choices you made stood as what you thought was right
(Try all you might)
When you failed you couldn't hide, you pushed all the dust aside
(And told yourself it's all alright)
I reap the benefits of your broken ties
(You broke inside)
The damage wrote the past and there′s nothing left
So, move aside
There′s no way back

For every memory I cannot erase
(Let it go, and remember)
You were the only reason I have what it takes
To find my way, and never break

You fought your battles and you fell apart
I watched you get back up with heart
I can't look up to those who′ve never sunk
Never tasted their own lives and got back up
I could choose to focus on what you did wrong
Or I could respect and learn from the run
At the end of it you won't be the flawless one
But you′ll be the only one who gave it all

What can you say?
But look away
There's so much hate
But you′ll learn someday

For every memory I cannot erase
(Let it go, and remember)
You were the only reason I have what it takes
To find my way, and never break

There's not a lot left that I can learn
(It's your turn to watch me)
I′ll do everything that I can
(Just to see you smile when you shake my hand)
I′m gonna to make you proud
I'm gonna show you who I am
I′m gonna be
The best person that I could be

OH

I'm gonna be, the best person I can be

For every memory I cannot erase
(Let it go, and remember)
You were the only reason I have what it takes
To find my way, and never break

I could choose to focus on what you did wrong
Or I could respect and learn from the run
At the end of it you won′t be the flawless one
But you'll be the only one who gave it all

Gave it all
