[Lyric] Things Stay the Same (Lock & Key (UK))

[Intro]
Things stay the same
I’m holding out for a better day
Things stay the same
I’m so tired of trying to find a better way
I am running on empty
I’m holding out for a better day
Things stay the same
I’m so tired of trying to find a better way
I am running on empty

[Verse 1]
In every place, I look surrounding me
We’re told which side of the line to stand
We won’t give in, we won’t back down, we won’t let go
We’ll make our stand, we won’t be moved, it’s a way of life

[Verse 2]
There is no respect
The end is in sight
There was once unity and peace that filled these streets
Now our dreams are brutally beat
We’re left with nothing in our hands
We’re left with nothing
[Chorus]
I’m holding out for a better day
Things stay the same
I’m so tired of trying to find a better way
I am running on empty

I’m holding out for a better day
Things stay the same
I’m so tired of trying to find a better way
I am running on empty

[Verse 3]
With every word I hear from you
You’ve never been so far from the truth
We won’t give in, we won’t back down, we won’t let go
We’ll make our stand, we won’t be moved, it’s a way of life
A way of life

[Bridge]
You pulled me down again to the lowest point
Never again
Demand respect but I have nothing left to give
Never again

[Verse 4]
Recklessly placing faith in idle hands
Losing sight of things that I hold so close
My dreams once so bright
They burn to embers, oh
[Chorus]
I’m holding out for a better day
I’m holding out for
I’m holding out for a better day
Things stay the same
I’m so tired of trying to find a better way
I am running on empty

I’m holding out for a better day
Things stay the same
I’m so tired of trying to find a better way
I am running on empty
