One Shot of Pity

She told me to get out in the nicest of way
She said to either go drink or go pray
So I've come in here but I won't stay too long
Confession reflection - but then I gotta move along
See there was this day she didn't feel right
She was tested and we found out then we started this fight
Hope can be tough when all you hear is no
They put a time on her time - but what do they know?

So give me - One shot of pity
And a chaser of "fight on"
You mix strength and faith til the pity is gone
From the - Fears at midnight
To the first light of dawn
I'll take that one shot of pity
But then I gotta move on

Every day is now another steep climb
I wonder how we used to spend all our time
Cause we have just one focus all night and all day
We could all use a moment when we just get away

Our little girl she's the toughest of 'em all
She's the first to rise and last to fall
Funny that you say that, 'cause she says the same thing, too
My God, I don't know what I'd do

So give me - One shot of pity
And a chaser of "fight on"
You mix strength and faith til the pity is gone
From the - Fears at midnight
To the first light of dawn
I'll take that one shot of pity
But then I gotta move on

There's a force that's pulling me back out that door
To face a reality that we cannot ignore
But I'm gonna tell you a secret and it's what I suppose
I think we're winning - and it ain't even close

So give me - One shot of pity
And a chaser of "fight on"
You mix strength and faith til the pity is gone
From the - Fears at midnight
To the first light of dawn
I'll take that one shot of pity
But then I gotta move on
