The ocean's at my feet
And there's a mile or ten in front of me
And all the battles I've fought alone
Built a man standing here that you now know

Life is short and filled with struggle
Gives us more than it takes
It gives us just enough
To keep our heads up

You take your heart and rip it out
It will lift you up then knock you down
When it hurts the most just give it time
Yeah
Like a diamond from a stone
It's in the pain that we grow
When it hurts the most just give it time
Yeah

There's no running away
Running away this time
From all of the things
All of the things that I hide
It took all these years to swallow my pride
It's a fight that no one gets out alive

Life is short and filled with struggle
Gives us more than it takes
It gives us just enough
To keep our heads up

You take your heart and rip it out
It will lift you up then knock you down
When it hurts the most just give it time
Yeah
Like a diamond from a stone
It's in the pain that we grow
When it hurts the most just give it time
Yeah

Give it time
Yeah
Give it time
Yeah
Give it time
Time time
Yeah
Give it time
Yeah

You take your heart and rip it out
It will lift you up then knock you down
When it hurts the most just give it time
Yeah
Like a diamond from a stone
It's in the pain that we grow
When it hurts the most just give it time
Yeah
Give it time
