I've had my share of sorrows
I've paid my dues
I know the feeling of rock bottom
And I know what it is to rise
Let me tell you about the days I used to cry
Let me tell you 'bout the days I was barely gettin' by
People wouldn't talk to me and I don't know why
Then I heard 'em whispering that they hoped that I would die
Let me tell you about the days I felt like I was on my own
I'd hit the bottom of a bottle
Try to call someone
But no one was home
I used to be the person people loved to see
But now
When I walk in
It seems like everyone just leaves
Oh
I've been to the bottom
Yeah
I've seen the light
When people do you dirty
You just need to fight
And I don't need you to believe in me
'Cause I already believe in me
I'm tellin' you
Let me tell you about the nights I was all alone
Let me tell you about the nights I was cryin' on the phone
People tell me to stay down and not try
Then I tell them "fuck you" as I look them in the eyes
I just keep on grindin' and keep on workin' on my dreams
You don't have to like it
But just let me be me
I've been on the bottom
And I've been on the top
And I'll keep on goin' cause I never will stop
I've paid my dues
I know the feeling of rock bottom
And I know what it is to rise
