lyrics

Pushing their boundaries
I swear that I can reach the highest peaks
I'll climb so high that even dreaming's beneath me
I'll achieve everything that you said I could never be

One step further and you will see
The ones who told you "you would never succeed"
Are the same ones who gave up on their own dreams
And couldn't live up to what they wanted to be
The world can change shapes and bury dreamers in its wake
Seconds passing and we're drifting away
Just don't give in to what they say
Let them say what they want (you're gonna be great)

They left me thinking it was for the best
A misconception claiming that I wasn't worth the time
But I'll show them that I'm not like the rest
Just know my dollar isn't worth your dime

They are broken records skipping through their lives (back and forth)
Never finished what they started
Stuck on repeat, holding back till they're cast in the light
When the road's at its end with regret in their eyes

Eyes are fixated on us
Never thought we could do it
But we're here to prove them wrong
We're not afraid
To dive in the deep end

They always wanted your soul
To make themselves feel achieved
The jealousy is growing more and more each day
I can't tell you how many times
You walked up to me and said
"You'll never make it so why don't you give up"




They left me thinking it was for the best
A misconception claiming that I wasn't worth the time
But now I'll show them what this means to me
While they sit at home and waste away

If you think that you are beaten and worn out
The light's grown dime and the roads have torn apart
If you've lost perspective
And your hearts gone blind
Just walk the path that feels right and you will find
Your way out in better time

I have had it with the attempts
To make me feel insignificant
Your words can plague another soul
This is all I've ever wanted to be
I won't sit here and let you rain your disbelief over me
It always felt like I was running in circles
They said I couldn't but I can and I will, I won't give up so easy
This is my life and I know what it's worth
I'm at the top of the mountain and I will not be leaving
