I Ain’t New to Pain Lyrics by Breaking Rust
I wake up every morning with a way to yesterday
Boats in the mirror, got a lot to say
Bills on the table, doubts in my head
Praying for peace while I’m dodging regret
I’ve loved and lost, I’ve trusted wrong
Held on tight when I should’ve been gone
Life don’t pull punches and swings full force
Still I’m here, staying the course
I ain’t new to pain
We go way back, been side by side since my heart went black
It don’t run me it just reminds me
I’m still standing still alive
I’ve been pushed down crawled through the fire
Lost a little faith found a little fight
I ain’t winning fast but I ain’t slipping away
Just taking it slow, day by day, one step at a time
And it’s fight called life
I seen good folks fall through the cracks
Watch dreams fade, never come back
I’ve been a sinner, I’ve been the saint
Learn real quick, this world don’t wait
Some nights I drown in what might have been
Other nights I thank, God I’m breathing
I ain’t perfect, I ain’t clean
Just doing the best I can with me
I carry my past like a loaded ***
But I ain’t done, no I ain’t done
I ain’t new to pain
We go way back, been side by side since my heart went black
It don’t run me it just reminds me
I’m still standing still alive
I’ve been pushed down crawled through the fire
Lost a little faith found a little fight
I ain’t winning fast but I ain’t slipping away
Just taking it slow, day by day, one step at a time
And it’s fight called life
If you’re barely holding on tonight, have you tied up?
Losing every fight, hear me now
You ain’t alone, every road we’re walking
Paved with storms, we bleed the same, we hurt the same
Different faces saying damn pain
Still standing
Still feeling
Still believing and there’s a reason
I ain’t new to pain
We go way back, been side by side since my heart went black
It don’t run me it just reminds me
I’m still standing still alive
I’ve been pushed down crawled through the fire
Lost a little faith found a little fight
I ain’t winning fast but I ain’t slipping away
Just taking it slow, day by day, one step at a time
And it’s fight called life
Hey, I’m still staying
Still alive
