You tell me hold your head up
Hold your head up
Hold your head up
Hold your head up
Hold your head up
Hold your head up
Hold your head up and be strong

You tell me it gets better, it gets better in time
You say I'll pull myself together
Pull it together, you'll be fine
Tell me, what the hell do you know? What do you know?
Tell me, what the hell do you know? What do you know?

'Til it happens to you
You won't know, it won't be real
No it won't be real
Won't know how I feel

'Til it happens to you
You won't know, it won't be real
No it won't be real
Won't know how it feels

You tell me hold your head up
Hold your head up
Hold your head up
Hold your head up
Hold your head up
Hold your head up
Hold your head up

You tell me hold your head up
Hold your head up
Hold your head up
Hold your head up
Hold your head up and be strong

Cause when you fall you gotta get up
You gotta get up and move on
Tell me how the hell could you talk, how could you talk?
'Cause until you walk where I walk
This is no joke

'Til it happens to you
You don't know how it feels, how it feels
'Til it happens to you
You won't know, it won't be real
No it won't be real
Won't know how I feel

'Til your world burns and crashes
'Til you're at the end, the end of your rope
'Til you're standing in my shoes
I don't wanna hear a thing from you, from you, from you
'Cause you don't know

You tell me hold your head up
Hold your head up
Hold your head up
Hold your head up
Hold your head up
Hold your head up
Hold your head up

'Til it happens to you
You won't know how I feel
