Never wanted anything as much as you
Never crossed my mind that I could ever lose
I had this picture in my head
Of all the promises you've made
But you turned them into dust
Empty-handed, now I'm lost
I know I gotta let go
With no regrets, you're already gone

(Oh) I let my dreams tie me down
(Oh) is it too late, can I break out?
(Oh) they say it's darkest of all before the dawn

I wanna be myself (I don't care)
Yeah, I gotta be myself (just don't care)
And now that your weight's come off my shoulders
I realize that I can fly
I needed to find me (now I know)
The key was inside of me all along
I'm listening to my heart, let it guide me
I feel the light, I feel the light

I never stopped (to find my way)
I always thought (it was a race)
To win it all, and that you were the prize
The closer I got, the more I lost
My soul, it was slowly fading
I'm like the autumn leaves, don't know which way I'm blowing
But it don't matter if it's raining or it's snowing
All of my problems growing smaller when I'm way up here
Any illusions I had left about you disappeared

(Oh) this is the end of the road
(Oh) oh, I'm holding out for a new hope
(Oh) 'cause it's the darkest of all before the dawn

I wanna be myself (I don't care)
Yeah, I gotta be myself (just don't care)
And now that your weight's come off my shoulders
I realize that I can fly
I needed to find me (now I know)
The key was inside of me all along
I'm listening to my heart, let it guide me
I feel the light, I feel the light

Afraid to let you go
But in my heart, I know
Got to move on, I think it's time
It's all good now

I wanna be myself (I don't care)
Yeah, I gotta be myself (just don't care)
And now that I left it all behind me
I'm flying high, I'm flying high
