lyrics

Running laps in circles
How I shift the blame
I pushed the world away
The same mistake
I know you have my back
When the sidewalk cracks
With lights at home
Feels like i'm back on track

When I say family
I don't just mean my blood
This is for everyone
Who's been with me through the mud
You held me down
You held me down

I’m glad we stayed close
Through the changes in time
My armor to guard me
When I crossed the line
You're on my side
When the knots untie
My wings were clipped
But now they glide

When I say family
I don't just mean my blood
This is for everyone
Who's been with me through the mud
You held me down
You held me down

This is the anthem for those in my life
You're a part of the reason that I'm still here alive
You held me down
You held me down

Gold plated love
That was never us
Heavy weighted, fabricated
Things that I can't trust
Against it all, I’ll never fall
I feel it in my gut

When I say family
I don't just mean my blood
This is for everyone
Who's been with me through the mud
You held me down
You held me down

This is the anthem for those in my life
You're a part of the reason that I'm still here alive
You held me down
You held me down
