Bear With Me Songtext
von Shinedown

No one ever said growin′ up that they wanna be a wannabe
Such controversy
No one ever said growin' up that they′ll never get it right
But that's life

So, why you acting bitter? Why you run your mouth?
Never mind the bollocks and this petty self-doubt
No one ever said growin' up that they wanna be a wannabe
Do you wanna be?

Tied up in knots, panic in my thoughts
So bear with me, bear with me
Nothing up my sleeve, no one here but me
Just bear with me, bear with me

I′m a little let down, runnin′ out of pages
Here's one for the ages
We gon′ be okay 'cause I′ma save the day
So bear with me, bear with me


No one ever said that you're pretty and you wouldn′t have to work for a livin'
That's a given
And no one ever said that you wouldn′t have to take a few licks
Break a few bricks

So show me a space where everybody′s safe
And I'll show you pigs that fly
And no one ever said growin′ up that they wanna be a wannabe
And I don't wanna be

So, where have all the poets gone, the ones who said it first?
And where are all the champions for better or for worse?

They′re tied up in knots, penny for their thoughts
So bear with me, bear with me
Nothing up my sleeve, no one here but me
Just bear with me, bear with me

I'm a little let down, runnin′ out of pages
Here's one for the ages
We gon' be okay ′cause I′ma save the day
So bear with me, bear with me

So, where have all the poets gone, the ones who said it first?
And where are all the champions for better or for worse?
And where are all the titans who put lightning in a bottle?
They disappeared and left us here, and now we're on our own


We′re tied up in knots, panic in my thoughts
So bear with me, bear with me
Nothing up my sleeve, no one here but me
Just bear with me, bear with me

I'm a little let down, runnin′ out of pages
Here's one for the ages
We gon′ be okay 'cause I'ma save the day
So bear with me, bear with me

Bear with me, bear with me
Bear with me, bear with me
