Is this as bad as it gets
or is it gonna get better
Is this some kind of test
or will it be like this forever
'Cause I ain't ever
seen a cloud this dark
And I ain't ever
been down this far
Is this as bad as it gets
or is it gonna get better
I know it ain't gonna be
no easy ride
and what doesn't kill you
makes you stronger
But I'm running outta places
I can hide
and every day it's like
the nights get longer
When I close my eyes
yeah the waves get high
and the flames get hotter
So I'm asking myself
'cause I can't tell
if this is hell
or just high water
Is the tide gonna turn
or will it keep on rising
And is it all gonna burn out
or strike like lightning
'Cause I'm fighting
and I'm just
hanging on to
any thread of hope
Wondering if
I should just let go
'Cause it's killing me
to just keep on climbing
Looking for a silver lining
I know it ain't gonna be
no easy ride
and what doesn't kill you
makes you stronger
But I'm running outta places
I can hide
and every day it's like
the nights get longer
When I close my eyes
yeah the waves get high
and the flames get hotter
So I'm asking myself
'cause I can't tell
if this is hell
or just high water
Oh will it ever be over
Oh am I two steps back
or one step closer
I know it ain't gonna be
no easy ride
and what doesn't kill you
makes you stronger
But I'm running outta places
I can hide
and every day it's like
the nights get longer
When I close my eyes
yeah the waves get high
and the flames get hotter
But I'm telling myself
'cause I know damn well
That this ain't hell
it's just high water
High water
It's just high water
