Is this as bad as it gets or is it gonna get better?
Is this some kind of test or will it be like this forever?
´Cause I ain´t ever seen a cloud this dark

And I ain´t ever been down this far
Is this as bad as it gets or is it gonna get better?

I know it ain´t gonna be no easy ride
And what doesn´t kill you makes you stronger
But I´m running outta places I can hide
And every day, it´s like the nights get longer
When I close my eyes, yeah, the waves get high
And the flames get hotter
So I´m asking myself ´cause I can´t tell
If this is hell or just high water

Is the tide gonna turn or will it keep on rising?
Is it all gonna burn and it strikes like lightning?
´Cause I´m fighting and I´m just
Hanging on to any thread of hope

Wondering if I should just let go
´Cause it´s killing me to just keep on climbing
Looking for a silver lining

I know it ain´t gonna be no easy ride
And what doesn´t kill you makes you stronger
But I´m running outta places I can hide
And every day, it´s like the nights get longer
When I close my eyes, yeah, the waves get high
And the flames get hotter
So I´m asking myself ´cause I can´t tell
If this is hell or just high water

Oh, will it ever be over?
Oh, am I two steps back or one step closer?

I know it ain´t gonna be no easy ride
And what doesn´t kill you makes you stronger

But I´m running outta places I can hide
And every day, it´s like the nights get longer
When I close my eyes, yeah, the waves get high
And the flames get hotter
But I´m telling myself ´cause I know damn well
That this ain´t hell
It´s just high water
High water
It´s just high water
