Parker Millsap - Dammit Lyrics

You can't see the forest for the branches
You can't see the ocean from the bottom of the wave
You can't see the glory from the trenches
You can't see tomorrow from today
I can't tell the hour from the minute
I can't tell the weekend from the middle of the week
It's sure hard to see it when you're way down in it
It's sure hard to beat it when it makes you feel a little weak
It's hard to see the surface
From the bottom
It's hard to know your purpose
Ain't it true
Some folks say to smoke 'em
If you've got 'em
Dammit if you don't
Damned if you do

I always try to see the thistle for the flower
I try to see the shower as a break from the heat
I try to whistle straight through the sour
Yeah the pill tastes bitter but I'll tell you that it tastes sweet
I said it's hard to see the surface
From the bottom
It's hard to know your purpose
Ain't it true
Some folks say to smoke 'em
If you've got 'em
Dammit if you don't
Damned if you do

It's hard to keep a secret but not to tell a lie
It's hard to believe it when you're barely getting by
It's hard to know the answer when the questions never said
It's hard to be a dancer baby when you're living in your head
Now you can't see the future and you can't keep the past
All the winners are just lucky losers baby nothing ever lasts
It's hard to see the surface
From the bottom
It's hard to know your purpose
Ain't it true
Some folks say to smoke 'em
If you've got 'em
Dammit if you don't
Damned if you do
