[Intro]

I don't wanna end up that way again

I end up wasting time

Staying far too long again

There's no one by my side


[Pre-Chorus]

And I know that it wasn't as easy as they said it is

Took a leap of faith into uncharted abyss

On my own, but for the first time

I feel new again, I've ascended into new light


[Chorus]

And I know it's not as easy as they said it was

I fell but got back up, and I'm the best I could be

Took many jabs yet prevailed

But you hurt me

Made me just better myself

Don't concern me

Say that you want something else

You'll get over this

I know me

I can handle this


[Post-Chorus]

In the dark for far too long

The darkness ended up be prolonged

I wanted more out of this song

Let me out, I waited too long

Don't wanna end up another face up on a poster

Lost all to time, lost all the faith that I had


[Pre-Chorus]

Don't wanna end up another face

Up on a poster

Lost all to time

I lost all the faith I had


[Chorus]

And I know it's not as easy as they said it was

I fell but got back up, and I'm the best I could be

Took many jabs yet prevailed

But you hurt me

Made me just better myself

Don't concern me

Say that you want something else

You'll get over this

I know me

I can handle this


[Outro]

I spent too many nights

You won't see me up on that poster

I walked out the door

I don't wanna see you again

I can handle this I can handle this
