Do you still feel the flames long after you've burned to the ground?
I can't forget the time when you used to flow through my veins
And I don't know what I've been doing wrong
But I've come so far and no I wouldn't trade it for a thing
Damaged, bruised and battered
Manifest that pain and
Turn the tables on the world
So it doesn't even matter
Who you hurt
Can't say you've taken everything
You left a lesson to be learned
So busy watching and waiting, debating that
I've been feeling so damn small
In this crowded room
Heart on my sleeve and something to prove
Never fell so hard
But what more is there to lose
Of myself?
‘Cause it's not easy to stay
But it's hard to leave
And it's not easy to leave but it's hard to stay
And I don't know if I can carry on like this
Like this.
Now that I know that the red brick road
Won't take me home or make me whole.
What's stopping us from stepping up
Chasing the stars, until we raise the bar
You don't need luck being who you really are.
Once so far in between the lines
That I couldn't see the pages
Content, complacent yeah
And I loved the view from here.
But ambitions bright in the dark burn
Like fire and everything becomes so clear
Step forward out from the dark
And adjust your eyes
To no surprise you had nothing to fear
No bars or walls keeping you here
Everyone's searching for someone
Someone to save them.
But I'll find the strength
And the courage to save myself.
Save myself.
And I don't know if I can carry on like this
Like this.
Now that I know that the red brick road
Won't take me home but make me whole.
What's stopping us from stepping up
Chasing the stars, until we raise the bar
You don't need luck being who you really are.
Maybe here one day
I'll look back and see
The beauty in this struggle of mine
Feeling so weightless
I swear that I can tell it all on my own
So I'll take every chance just to prove to myself
There's something more and just know
Moving forwards not just
Moving on or letting go
And I don't know if I can carry on like this
Like this.
Now that I know that the red brick road
Won't take me home.
What's stopping us from stepping up
Chasing the stars, until we raise the bar
You don't need luck being who you really are.
Chasing the stars until we raise the bar
Chasing the stars until we raise the bar
