And tonight I feel more alive
Than I have in years.
Breathing life into my hopes and dreams,
Not being driven by my fears.
Because in the past,
Oh how they've steered me astray
To be controlled by what brings you down
Just isn't the right way.
Let it all go.
That's what I tell myself.
And every now and then
I believe I have.
But it's made it's home inside my head,
And it never lets me forget.
It doesn't show any signs of leaving,
But I'm showing signs of accepting that.
I'm fucked up but that's okay,
We're all a little fucked up anyway.
I've spent so many sleepless nights
Questioning my worth.
Am I proud of who I've become?
Have I earned my place on Earth?
What use is a man built of nostalgia
And regret?
I pushed past those thoughts,
I'm not giving in quite yet.
Staggered but determined,
My ambition will never falter
I'll follow my dreams even if it kills me,
I'll be alright.
I've learned to surround myself,
With the ones who push me forward,
Not those who hold me back.
The ones who make me a better man,
Because that's all I want to be.
My will will not be broken
I will not be broken.
I'll push past what holds me back,
And carry on.
Staggered but determined,
My ambition will never falter
I'll follow my dreams even if it kills me,
My will will not be broken
I will not be broken.
My will will not be broken
I am not broken.
