[Intro] [Verse 1] I've been at this longer than most towns have existed Long enough that faces start to blur I stopped counting years when the math stopped meaning anything Stopped counting losses when I ran out of names [Verse] Every place I land, the story's already there ahead of me Monster, typhoon, whatever fits the wall I walk in anyway because someone usually needs it And I haven't found a reason good enough to stop [Pre-Chorus] There's someone out there with the opposite conclusion Same beginning, different ending We don't talk about it [Chorus] I'm not here to fight you, but I will stand here I'm not going to hurt you, but I won't move There has to be a way through this that nobody dies So let me find it Give me a minute I'll find it [Verse 2] You didn't run when the situation stopped making sense Most people have better instincts than that I don't know what that says about you yet But I noticed, and I'm still thinking about it [Verse 2] This wasn't supposed to be anything Just another stretch of road between bad days But you keep being there when the dust settles And I keep not minding as much as I should [Pre-Chorus] I've carried this alone long enough to know the weight Doesn't mean I've figured out how to put it down Not yet [Chorus] I'm not here to fight you, but I will stand here I'm not going to hurt you, but I won't move There's a way through this that nobody dies So let me find it Give me a minute I'll find it [Bridge] A hundred and fifty years and I still don't have the answer Why bleed for something that won't even last I only know what she believed and what it felt like to mean something to someone That has to be enough That has to be enough [Final Chorus] I'm not here to fight you, but I will stand here I'm not going to hurt you, but I won't back down If the only way forward is through Then I'm going through I'm going through [Outro]
