We're supposed to bleed sometimes And we make these scars together They fade, tears dry Bones will break and realign There is your crutch you've leaned on Now stretch out and move on 'Cause I want your real life moments I wanna taste your pain And I wanna see your war face on that day At this rate, you'll get there before I do And I'll be there before long Slow down and let's walk it out together Loser's strong
