Stuck Lyrics

In a rut that I can't get out of

Had a run of unfortunate luck

Knocked down and I'm losing count of

How many times I've had to get back up

Two feet that are made for standing

Two hands I can use as fists

But I'm weak and I'm not a fighter

And I'm old and I'm cold and I'm pissed

I was young, I was thin, I was gorgeous

I was out on the town for a laugh

Hadn't learnt how it felt to be nervous

How my chest closes up like a trap

There were women, there were wine, there was singing

There was me in the middle of it all

That was then and now I'm clinging

To the hope I haven't lost it all

Now

I'm standing taller

Now

I'm someone else

Now

I'm old and I'm wiser

Now

I can help myself

Now

I'm a proper grown-up

Now

I'm a real man

Now

I can cope with it all

But I'm tryna get out if I can

'Cause I'm stuck

And I wiggle like a fish on a hook

And they're all lining up to take a look

And I'm kicking and I'm screaming and I'm shook

'Cause I can't get away 'cause I'm stuck

And I wiggle like a fish on a hook

And they're all lining up to take a look

And I'm kicking and I'm screaming and I'm shook

And I wanna break free

And I kick and I scream

And I just can't leave

'Cause I'm stuck

In the past I was uber-cocky

Back then I didn't give a fuck

Always thought it would turn up roses

Never thought I would end up stuck

As a kid always dreamed of riches

Always thought I would reach the top

Just love and screaming stardom

Where the fans and the hits wouldn't stop

I was young, I was thin, I was gorgeous

Always knew it would take me far

Had the look, had the gifts and the talent

I was born for the life of a star

Reality's a cold, hard bastard

Brought me down to earth with a bang

Never thought it would end up this way

No one giving a fuck when I sang

Now

I'm standing taller

Now

I'm someone else

Now

I'm old and I'm wiser

Now

I can help myself

Now

I'm a proper grown-up

Now

I'm a real man

Now

I can cope with it all

But I'm tryna get out if I can

'Cause I'm stuck

And I wiggle like a fish on a hook

And they're all lining up to take a look

And I'm kicking and I'm screaming and I'm shook

'Cause I can't get away 'cause I'm stuck

And I wiggle like a fish on a hook

And they're all lining up to take a look

And I'm kicking and I'm screaming and I'm shook

And I wanna break free

And I kick and I scream

And I just can't leave

'Cause I'm stuck

I'm standing taller

I'm someone else

I'm old and I'm wiser

I can help myself

I'm a proper grown-up

I'm a real man

I can cope with it all

But I'm tryna get out if I can

'Cause I'm stuck

I'm standing taller

I'm someone else

I'm old and I'm wiser

I can help myself

I'm a proper grown-up

I'm a real man

'Cause there's a hundred million things

That I can think of in this world

That are worse than being stuck

Stuck

And I wiggle like a fish on a hook

And they're all lining up to take a look

And I'm kicking and I'm screaming and I'm shook

'Cause I can't get away 'cause I'm stuck

And I wiggle like a fish on a hook

And they're all lining up to take a look

And I'm kicking and I'm screaming and I'm fucked

And I wanna break free

And I kick and I scream

And I just can't leave

'Cause I'm stuck
