[Verse 1] I'm short again this month Would skipping coffee cover the rent? In the room my roommate ran away from One person's loneliness, two people's bills [Verse 2] I canceled every subscription I had So why does all my money disappear? When my delivery shift is finally over My own dinner comes from a convenience store [Pre-Chorus] Everybody says, "If you work hard, you'll make it" But all my hard work does is raise the rent So I guess I have to laugh somehow If this is what they call living [Chorus] Survive, survive, make it through another month Me and my empty wallet, we're becoming friends Dancing while I'm crying feels about right I can't even cry for real 'Cause I don't have the money for that So I guess I'll laugh instead [Verse 3] All my friends have gone back home I'm the only one left behind in this city But the skyline still looks beautiful at night And that's the only luxury that's still free [Chorus] Survive, survive, make it through another month Me and my empty wallet, we're becoming friends Dancing while I'm crying feels about right I'm too broke to even cry for real 'Cause I don't have the money for that So I guess I'll laugh instead [Bridge] I still believe someday it'll get easier But "someday" keeps getting pushed to next month And the reason I still won't leave this city Is probably stubbornness and a little bit of hope [Final Chorus] Survive, survive, I'm still alive My wallet's light, but my heart won't get heavy Counting all my bills while I'm dancing This is my ordinary hero story
