When I turned 15, determined to keep
My head lower than my self esteem
I had a plan but I was held back by acting
Like acne was the worst thing to happen
If I could go back, leave a note that
Might've told that teen boy the stuff that
I didn't know then
I'd write two words, all he'd need
To know this ain't how it'll always be

Hold tough, fill your heart with mud
Stitch up all your cuts once you've had enough
Stand strong when the pressures up
And damn this flood by holding tough

I did what simon said
It went best inside my head
Led me from start to end
But in the act of cashin' in
I gave half of my fraction of passion left
Its not pretty, its not trendy to act like this
I'm no natural, I have to practice this
You're not ready, I get that but here its is
Stick with me or be stuck with what you get

Hold tough, fill your heart with mud
Stitch up all your cuts once you've had enough
Stand strong when the pressures up
And damn this flood by holding tough

Hold tough, fill your heart with mud
Stitch up all your cuts once you've had enough
Stand strong when the pressures up
And damn this flood by holding tough

Hold tough, fill your heart with mud
Stitch up all your cuts once you've had enough
Stand strong when the pressures up
And damn this flood by holding tough
