lyrics

What am I giving up to dream this big?
To blindly lead myself to the cliff
I can’t be remembered chained behind a door
I fear it won’t take much for this to give a little more

You can keep coming for me
(Give it your best shot)
You can keep coming for me
(Is that good or not?)
But I won’t be caught

I’m pulling my weight
I’m picking up steam
Nothing is ever gonna be the same
I’ve been failing for so long
I can wait to beat my own streak

I better start running
If I’m gonna get away

I have to ask myself
Are you just part of the problem?
Are you even an artist?
My finger hurts
But was it worth it?

I know it's a dream, but why does it feel so real to me?
What am I giving up?

But am I ready for change?
Is today the day?
That I just say ok

But I know
That I won’t
Just give up
