I Got You Lyrics

Remember when you stepped out in the crowd The roar of applause so deafening now

Fans call out your name and hope you'd hear them

Headlines that made your parents proud Cameras light up your face in your victory round

Settling scores with rivals when you went near them

Just as you put that all behind you This shows up and tries to break you

A body that once could do no wrong Shuts down in ways that don't belong

It doesn't marry up with the man you once were

It's a fall from grace you don't deserve As you reach out and steadily to her

She takes your hand in hers and gently says

I got you, I got you, I got you

Now when sleep won't come at night Body and mind can't help but fight

There's no rest cause there's no freedom

Just as you put that all behind you This shows up and tries to break you

A body that once could do no wrong Shuts down in ways that don't belong

It doesn't marry up with a man you once were

It's a fall from grace you don't deserve As you reach out and steadily to her

She takes your hand in hers and gently says

And even when it hurts to speak And even when it's hard to breathe in these moments

When it's hard to carry on

I got you, I got you, I got you

A body that once could do no wrong Shuts down in ways that don't belong

It doesn't marry up with a man you once were

It's a fall from grace you don't deserve As you reach out and steadily to her

She takes your hand in hers and gently says

I got you, I got you, I got you
