I used to be so young and invincible
The mistakes of my youth are finally catching up to me
The face that stares back in the mirror
Should carry nothing but pride
As the days go by, it's getting harder to hold my head up high

I've never been so tired, I've never felt so weak
But I swear to you, I swear to you that I'm not giving up
Never been so tired, never felt so weak
My storied life is coming to a graceful descent. Descend

I've seen peace end and battles begin
I've seen peace end and battles begin (Go)

I won't forget the lives I touched
I won't forget the life I know (Life)
As the days go by, it's getting harder to hold my head up high
As the days go by, it's getting harder to hold my head up high
(No, oh)

I used to think I'd last forever
I used to think I'd last forever
I used to think I'd last forever
I used to think I'd last forever
Forever
