Thursday - Stay True lyrics
[Thursday - Stay True lyrics]
Kid, you need some thicker skin
You don't take punches well
Just like your old man
But, you're young and scared
You're weak in your beliefs
You've got so much to prove
Not a lot of time before they get to you
So please, stay true
Yeah, you stick up for your friends
And you've got a lot of heart
You remind me of myself
Before I lost my nerve
I've been counting my mistakes
I can see all that we've lost
And I don't want to talk about the old days
Disregard those clapping hands
They'll turn to punches when you're down
Disregard the critics' praise
They'll be the first to tell the news
That you've sold your soul
Disregard those dollar signs
They'll buy the biggest house in hell
Where you'll live alone
Just keep your head down
Keep your friends close
Hold fast to your beliefs
And, whatever else you do
Stay true, stay true believe me, when I say
It's the hardest thing to do
Stay true, stay true
They'll kill you by inches
Don't let 'em make a move
Stay true, stay true look me in the eye
Promise me one thing: Stay true, stay true
Nothing else matters none of this is real
Stay true
Disregard the cynics' path
They'll buy a drink and laugh with you
While you trade defeats
Disregard your fear of death
We've all got a lot to lose
Whatever else you do stay true
You don't take punches well
Just like your old man
But, you're young and scared
You're weak in your beliefs
You've got so much to prove
Not a lot of time before they get to you
So please, stay true
Yeah, you stick up for your friends
And you've got a lot of heart
You remind me of myself
Before I lost my nerve
I've been counting my mistakes
I can see all that we've lost
And I don't want to talk about the old days
Disregard those clapping hands
They'll turn to punches when you're down
Disregard the critics' praise
They'll be the first to tell the news
That you've sold your soul
Disregard those dollar signs
They'll buy the biggest house in hell
Where you'll live alone
Just keep your head down
Keep your friends close
Hold fast to your beliefs
And, whatever else you do
Stay true, stay true believe me, when I say
It's the hardest thing to do
Stay true, stay true
They'll kill you by inches
Don't let 'em make a move
Stay true, stay true look me in the eye
Promise me one thing: Stay true, stay true
Nothing else matters none of this is real
Stay true
Disregard the cynics' path
They'll buy a drink and laugh with you
While you trade defeats
Disregard your fear of death
We've all got a lot to lose
Whatever else you do stay true
