Grateful Lyrics

[Verse 1]
I'm still fighting for you
I probably will till the day I die
Excuses are choking me
Outside voices provoking me
And if you're stranded
And stand there or do nothing at all
You made land on two feet or you may fall
I look at you with delight
I'm crying and screaming as you pass on by

[Pre-Chorus]
You can walk in the shoes that you taught me to dye
You can make my mistakes no matter what you try
I'll blame you every time

[Chorus]
I'm haunted and followed
In spite of myself you're on my mind
I shake loose but you won't go
And I'm grateful till the day I die

[Verse 2]
You snake who wrapped the sane
Who bought into sweet old you
You think that I lost out
But guess what I might fool you too
[Pre-Chorus]
You can walk in the shoes that you taught me to dye
You can make mistakes no matter what you try
I'll blame you every time

[Chorus]
I'm haunted and followed
In spite of myself you're on my mind
I shake loose but you won't go
And I'm grateful till the day I die

[Bridge]
Could you have been any more impossible to be around?
Could you have tried any harder to lift me up
While you held me down?
And all those times that I pushed you away
I pay for it every day

[Chorus]
I'm haunted and followed
In spite of myself you're on my mind
I shake loose, but you won't go
And I'm grateful till the day I die

[Chorus Outro]
I'm haunted and followed
In spite of myself you're on my mind
I shake loose, but you won't go
And I'm grateful till the day I die
Grateful till the day I die

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Type out all lyrics, even repeating song parts like the chorus
  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]
