Lemons
Turning Lemons into Triumph: Conquering Life's Struggles with Ashley Tisdale
Lyrics
I can't afford these late nights and staying up
I am unable to afford staying up late at night.
My tired eyes are signs I've done way too much
My exhausted eyes indicate that I've exerted myself too much.
La-la-la-lately, my life's been crazy
Recently, my life has been chaotic.
And I've been feelin' stuck
I feel trapped and stagnant.
Discovering I've got lows I never knew
Realizing I have emotional lows I wasn't aware of before.
When everything's a struggle it's hard to move
When everything is challenging, it's difficult to progress.
They're paralyzing, but I'm still trying
Challenges are overwhelming, but I'm still making an effort.
Got all this shit to do
I have a lot of responsibilities.
I've been over-extended
I've stretched myself beyond my limits.
I've been stretching myself too thin
I've spread myself too thin.
I'll take these walls and kick-kick-kick 'em down
I will break down metaphorical walls obstructing my progress.
Take all my problems knock 'em to the ground
I'll overcome and resolve my problems.
Some days I can't get out of bed
Some days, I struggle to get out of bed.
But my mama always said
My mother's advice: face challenges positively ("Life gives you lemons, you just work it out").
"Life gives you lemons, you just work it out"
I've had my share of fuck ups, I've made mistakes
I've experienced failures and errors in judgment.
Given my best with no luck and cried to sleep
I've given my best but faced disappointment and cried.
Look at the good days (and then the bad days)
Reflecting on both good and bad days.
I'll wear the bad days (I'll wear the bad days)
Embracing and enduring tough times.
Can't let 'em get to me (can't let 'em get to me)
I won't let challenges affect me.
I've been over-extended
Reiteration of being overburdened.
I've been stretching myself too thin
Reiteration of stretching oneself too thin.
And so I'll take these walls and kick-kick-kick 'em down
Continuation of breaking down barriers and solving problems.
Take all my problems knock 'em to the ground
Continuation of overcoming challenges.
Some days I can't get out of bed
Reiterating the difficulty of some days.
But my mama always said
Mother's advice emphasized once more.
"Life gives you lemons, you just work it out"
Filter out the sounds
Blocking out negative influences and reducing heartbreak.
Slow my heartbreak down (slow my heartbreak down)
Adjusting to emotional pain.
I'll take the no's and the fears
Accepting rejection and facing fears.
And I'll sh, sh, sh, sh, sh, sh shut 'em up
Choosing to silence doubts and criticism.
I'll take these walls and kick-kick-kick 'em down
Repetition of breaking down barriers metaphorically.
Take all my problems knock 'em to the ground
Continuation of resolving problems and challenges.
I'll take these walls and kick-kick-kick 'em down
Repetition of breaking down barriers metaphorically.
Take all my problems knock 'em to the ground
Continuation of resolving problems and challenges.
Some days I can't get out of bed
Reiterating the difficulty of some days.
But my mama always said
Mother's advice reiterated.
"Life gives you lemons, you just work it out"
Mother's advice emphasized.
"Life gives you lemons, you just work it out"
Mother's advice reiterated.
Ooh, "Life gives you lemons, you just work it out"
Expression of determination to overcome challenges.
Yeah, "Life gives you lemons, you just work it out"
Reiteration of determination to overcome challenges.
Mm, I'm gonna work it out
A commitment to overcoming challenges.
