I've been trying

To play a part

In this new life I've begun

And I have tried

To build this path for so long

I've come so far

I've come so far

I won't give up

This is all I've got

In the end

I told myself

I would get here one day

Constricting chains

Pulling me down each time I'd lay

Finding the worst in it all

I almost was sure I'd fall

Until I found a way

I know I'm here to stay
