Текст песни

Stuck In A Rut

Sometimes my life is a mess
Sometimes I have my regrets
Sometimes I just can’t find my way
And sometimes I just don’t have a say

I know that I’ve seen better days
I know that hearts been broken
I know that I’m goin’ be okay
I know that there’s still hope and

I’m Holding on
For the moment
I’m holding on
I’m in the wrong frame of mind
I’m in the wrong place, wrong time
Stuck in the middle of a rut
And I gotta find a way to get outta here

I walked through the open door
But I’ve been this way before
Stuck in the middle of a rut
And I gotta find a way to get outta here

Sometimes my life is a bore
Sometimes I don’t know the score
Sometimes I just finish in last
And sometimes I just don’t stand a chance

I know that I’ve seen better days
I know this hearts been broken
I know that I’m goin’ be okay
I know that there’s still hope and

I’m Holding on
For the moment
I’m holding on
I’m in the wrong frame of mind
I’m in the wrong place, wrong time
Stuck in the middle of a rut
And I gotta find a way to get outta here

I walked through the open door
But I’ve been this way before
Stuck in the middle of a rut
And I gotta find a way to get outta here

I gotta get outta here
I gotta get outta here
I know I can find a way

Sometimes my life is a mess
I’m in the wrong frame of mind
I’m in the wrong place, wrong time
Stuck in the middle of a rut
And I gotta find a way to get outta here

I walked through the open door
But I’ve been this way before
Stuck in the middle of a rut
And I gotta find a way to get outta here, yeah

I gotta get outta here
I gotta get outta here

I walked through the open door
But I’ve been this way before
Stuck in the middle of a rut
And I gotta find a way to get outta here
