All the things I’ve said about myself
All the things I write that I won’t tell
You would never know that I need help
I take it back
I wanna take it back
When does anyone ever really know
Turning on the lights there’s nothing in the shadows
All the words I write but I won’t tell
I take it back
I wanna take it back
Meeting myself on the other side
Closing my eyes and it feels like flying
Finally catching my breath I feel alive again
Keep on ascending
Keep on ascending
Keep on ascending
Keep on ascending
Keep on ascending
Keep on ascending
Keep on ascending
Who said you can’t fly with broken wings?
Fighting with the voices in my head
Used to doubt everything about myself
I take it back
Keep on ascending
Keep on ascending
Keep on ascending
Keep on ascending
Keep on ascending
Keep on ascending
Keep on ascending
Reaching for the light
It’s never been so close
Push away the hands
That’s tryna pull me down
Can’t wait to see who I truly am
I love how I’m perfectly imperfect
I don’t wanna lie
To my own soul
Born with this light
I know how to fly
Can’t wait to see who I truly am
I love how I’m perfectly imperfect
