I wish that I had something to be more proud of
I wish that I could raise my voice a little louder
And stand up straight like the people I hate
And stand up tall, but I am laying down empty as a hall

Because lately, I've been bent over
Like blades of grass

Bent over at the knees (like blades of grass)
Blowed over by a gentle breeze (like blades of grass)
Mowed over by an old machine (like blades of grass)
Blowed over by a gentle breeze (like blades of grass)
(Like blades of grass)

I'm weak minded, I always knew, I never doubted
So I look to her, I look to you to get me out
And live life straight even if for a day
And stand up tall, but I am staring out blankly as a wall

Because lately, I've been bent over
Like blades of grass

Bent over at the knees (like blades of grass)
Blowed over by a gentle breeze (like blades of grass)
Mowed over by an old machine (like blades of grass)
Blowed over by a gentle breeze (like blades of grass)

Like blades of grass
Like blades of grass
Like blades of grass
Like blades of grass

I'm always on my knees
You always wait on me

Like blades of grass
Like blades of grass

And all the money
You always wait on me
I wasn't strong enough
In every way I know he'll say
I wasn't strong enough

And all the money
I wasn't strong enough
You always wait on me

(Let me fall in now, let me fall in)
(Let me fall in, not strong enough)
(Let me fall in now, let me fall in)
(Let me fall in, not strong enough)
(Let me fall in now)
(Let me fall in now, let me fall in)
(Let me fall in, not strong enough)

I wasn't strong enough
(He'll say)
