It's a battle all my own   But steadfast right by my side   Best friend I've ever known   You've always had my back      Lost my stability   Straight down bloodied up my face   Pick myself up again   But wind up on two feet      It's a battle all my own   Machinery you can't control   Others complain about their worst   Troubles you wish were your own      As the seasons roll on by   You realize you're getting older   It's a battle all my own   What have I learned?      Best friend I've ever known   The innocence as we've grown   Been beaten down before   Her good luck brings me home      Through good times and between   The bad times made the difference   I slept well constantly   Knowing you'll never leave      There was strangers in our midst   But steadfast right by my side   Had many enemies   You always had my back      It's a battle all my own   Machinery you can't control   Others complain about their worst   Troubles you wish were your own      As the seasons roll on by   You realize you're getting older   It's a battle all my own   What have I learned?      The stares, the glares   The battle and fights   This malice put upon you   Can't be all right      The trouble, the ill intent   I'm sorry for you   Never yet again   Rearranging the truth      She holds my head up high   When I can't see   She fills my mind with thoughts   Good memories      She shuts me up   When I'm screaming angry   She gives me guidance   When I have no peace      You stayed in my corner to fight   Stayed by my side, I'm so tired   Stayed by my wrongs   And by my rights      It's a battle all my own   Machinery you can't control   Others complain about their worst   Troubles you wish were your own      As the seasons roll on by   You realize you're getting older   It's a battle all my own   What have I learned?
