Permanent

I've been hidin'
Afraid of what might come
If I stop lyin'
Just let my walls fall down
And let the light in
I'm praying everything will be okay

Yeah, I've been wishin'
For more than where I've been
Always fishin'
Through muddy water
Looking for validation
And the less I get, the more I slip away

But my heart's still rollin'
Like tires on that Cadillac
And my road's still open
Got half a tank of "I ain't done yet"
I know when I look back
I'll see the roses through the cracks
And I won't be afraid to face the hurt in it
Cause this ain't permanent
No, this ain't permanent

I've been livin'
Under pressure of my own
Indecision
Sometimes it's hard to know
Which direction I should go in
I guess maybe faith is never knowing
But choosing to believe

That my heart's still rollin'
Like tires on that Cadillac
And my road's still open
Got half a tank of "I ain't done yet"
I know when I look back
I'll see the roses through the cracks
And I won't be afraid to face the hurt in it
Cause this ain't permanent
No, this ain't permanent
(Ah-ah-ah, ah-ah-ah, ah-ah-ah-ah-ah)

This is only temporary
I'll be better for it someday
I'm choosing to believe

My heart's still rollin'
Like tires on that Cadillac
And my road's still open
Got a full tank of "I ain't done yet"

My heart's still rollin'
Like tires on that Cadillac
And my road's still open (My road's still open)
Got half a tank of "I ain't done yet"
I know when I look back
I'll see the roses through the cracks (I'll see the roses)
And I won't be afraid to face the hurt in it
Cause this ain't permanent
(No, this ain't, this ain't)
No, this ain't permanent
