Another Day, Another Struggle Lyrics - Singles - The Prize Fight

Well I've been waiting in the back just wondering how 

To make this begin 

But under weight of drugs and alcohol 

That have rendered me defenseless 

You'll call me worthless 

I know I'm worth this 

And I've been waiting all along 

Someday I'll ride this out of here 

Where baby, I'll show you how I won't miss home at all 

There's a man in the bar who looks up to you 

Even though he is like half your age 

He's never gonna know what you're going through 

Or what it must be like to have to shoulder all the weight 

On a daily basis 

We put up, we put out, we put in the time 

The clock is running out, you gotta do it now 

I have much in mind for what's in store 

But first I gotta complete this phrase 

It's like that man once said 

"You gotta hit the ground running or you'll fall, 

Before things ever go your way" 

So now I'm standing in the back just learning how 

To keep this going 

But under weight of drugs and alcohol 

That have rendered me defenseless 

Don't call me worthless 

I've gotta have purpose 

And I've been waiting all along 

Someday I'll ride this out of here 

Where baby, I'll show you how I won't miss home at all 

The woman in the dark that you're plowing through 

Is just another flawless perk of the trade 

So many men that I have known are abusing you 

Because this is the way you paint yourself on canvas, babe 

What an awful price to pay 

This is not what I've been looking for 

Still it's how I'm gonna spend my days 

Since I can't count my sins 

I'll cover them up like I know they don't exist 

Still I will not be ashamed 

Wait... 

Besides this awful purpose 

That I tend to show some days 

I only have the best intentions 

So I will not be afraid... 

Afraid of what they'll say 

There's no more waiting in the back cause I've figured out 

A way to begin 

And under weight of drugs and alcohol 

Is exactly where we wanna be 

You can call me worthless 

I know my purpose 

And I've been ready all along 

To ride my calling outta here 

Where baby, I'll show you how I won't 

How I won't miss 

How I won't miss home at all
