Not The Only - Sugarland

These are the days of the underdog

The counted outs

The ones you don’t see coming

Times of the left-behinds

The underneaths

The heart that’s tired but still keeps running

Yeah man it’s been a year

Sometimes I wish I could disappear

Had a door slammed and my heart broken

But somehow the window’s still open

Silent voices I’ve never heard

All waiting to say the words

Held up and kept inside

But we don’t have to hide

Tell me I am not the only

One here feeling lonely

Tell me I don’t have to try so hard

Tell me I’m alright and then say

It’s all gonna be okay

Tell me you’ll be careful with my heart

These are the days of the hard fight

The dark night

And the light I use against it

And they tell me no

Still go for broke

And keep swinging for the fences

Kids keep getting a little bit older

And the news outside keeps getting colder

So heavy I can’t put it down

So I keep on carrying it around

Hold on to the why within

I learn to smile and pretend

Outside nobody knows

There’s a fire deep down below

Tell me I am not the only

One here feeling lonely

Tell me I don’t have to try so hard

Tell me I’m alright and then say

It’s all gonna be okay

Tell me you’ll be careful with my heart

Tell me I am not the only

One here feeling lonely

Tell me I don’t have to try so hard

Tell me I’m alright and then say

It’s all gonna be okay

Tell me you’ll be careful with my heart

We are the underdogs

The counted outs

The ones you don’t see coming

The left-behinds

The underneaths

The hearts that beat

We wanna wake up in the world

We know we fell asleep in

We wanna live and give it all

To a love we can believe in

And there’s gotta be more like me

Hey, there’s gotta be more like me

Tell me I am not the only

Tell me I am not the only
