Struggling

from Fix the World by Carmen Toth

/

about

A song about living with an anxiety condition compounded by childhood trauma, that heavily affects your ability to keep it together and accomplish what's expected of you.

lyrics

Oh, I’m struggling, I’m a real pro.
I like a good struggle, I never say no.
Oh, I’m struggling, it’s all that I see.
Because what’s easy for you is never easy for me.

Oh, I’m struggling, won’t you come watch me fall?
I’ve got every emotion and I’m showing them all.
Oh I’m struggling, I’m a little confused,
and that’s probably from all the years of abuse.
Oh, I’m struggling, I stand on the wall.
They’ll give me chances, but I’ll blow them all.
Oh, I’m struggling, it’s all that I know.
But if it were easy, would it be a good show?
Oh, I’m struggling, won’t you come watch me fall?
I’ve got every emotion and I’m showing them all.
Oh, I’m struggling, I’m a little confused,
and I know that’s from all the years of abuse.

Oh, but you’re making your mark, just believe.
I know I’ve asked, will I receive?
Will I make my mark if I just believe?
Well, I’m asking now, will I receive?

Oh, I’m struggling, won’t you come watch me fall?
I’ve got every emotion and I’m showing them all.
Oh, I’m struggling, I’m a little confused,
and I know that’s from all the years of abuse.
Oh, I’m struggling, it’s all that I know.
But if it were easy, would it be a good show?

It’s all I know. It’s how I roll.
It’s all I know. And it’s how I roll.
Oh, it’s all that I know.
