lyrics

I’ll Get By
Lyrics Betty Reed © Betty Reed Music LLC

Take my time, I fall in deeper
Hold on tight, each ride is steeper
And I’m
Crashing hard with each endeavor
I'm not sure if it gets better
But I'll try

And I'll get by
Oh I’ll get by 

They say life's short so take more chances
Learn to put down my defenses
And I’m
Taking down my walls and fences
Can I take the consequences
But I'll try 

And I'll get by
Oh I’ll get by 

The paths in my life a foggy labyrinth
Each step I take is my new challenge
And I’m
Holding on to old dreams hoping
Making life worth every moment
Oh I'll try 

And I'll get by
Oh I’ll get by
