lyrics

Called me up the other day, said he didn’t know what to say/ was worried that his folks would hate him if they knew he felt this way/ Lyin’ ‘bout the love he gives, he wants to end the life he lives/ the best that I can do is be here by his side and simply sit/ ”What happened to the home I knew,” he cries/ “If I was different would they love me too? ‘Cause I’m...

Gettin’ by, gettin’ by, gettin’ by on heartache
We gon’ try, we gon’ try until our backs break just to make it
Gettin’ by, gettin’ by, gettin’ by on heartache
Whatever it takes, just to live...

Living out of desperation, all too common situation/ poverty’s a home invasion, every step alienated/ woken by a cop with his hand on his sidearm/ blinded by a spotlight, sleepin’ out in my car/ so very far from the home I knew this time/ what should I do when I’m...

Gettin’ by, gettin’ by, gettin’ by on heartache
We gon’ try, we gon’ try until our backs break just to make it
Gettin’ by, gettin’ by, gettin’ by on heartache
Whatever it takes, just to live

maybe the love of your life left without even an answer/ maybe the doc walked and said i’m sorry son, it's cancer/ maybe the bills are due, the rent is due, the car won't start, your sky once blue/ has turned a grey that turns away all fading hope from yesterday/ so you get up, and breathe, and try/ ‘cause sometimes that’s all you can do to get by

Gettin’ by, gettin’ by, gettin’ by on heartache
We gon’ try, we gon’ try until our backs break, and we’re gonna make it
Gettin’ by, gettin’ by, gettin’ by on heartache
Tomorrow is a brand new day
