Sharptooth - Pushing Forward lyrics

You told me I was meant for something different You never made it clear what that would mean I know this isn’t quite what you expected You got more than you had bargained on with me Because For my whole life I’ve been ashamed Thought I was broken Thought I couldn’t get it right Thought everything would work out if I only played the game But I got sick of playing And I know that my decisions never fit into your plan But I hope that you can listen, and try to understand Cause I’ve finally been learning what it means to take that stand So this is what that looks like And this is who I am I know I really shouldn’t have to mention That all you wanted was for me to shine The road to hell is paved with good intentions Your goodness held me back from finding mine For my whole life I’ve been afraid But bravery Isn’t fearlessness at all It’s being terrified and pushing forward anyway So I’m pushing forward And I know that my decisions never fit into your plans But I hope that you can listen, and try to understand Because I’ve been on a mission ever since I found my voice And this is who I am And I have made my choice I cease to be what you wanted me to be I cease to be what you wanted me to be I cease to be what you wanted me to be So forget the past, and grab my hand This is the place where I go to emote To grieve, and to breathe, and to heal and to hope Where their stigmas and their standards, they all go up in smoke Where I became awake when I was rudely awoke This is the place where I am finally free The only place where I can say I’m finally me It took me twenty-something years to even dream of a purpose Through my blood and sweat and tears I’m f**ing making it worth it I cease to be what they wanted me to be I cease to be what they wanted me to be I cease to be what they wanted me to be So forget the past and grab my hand I cease to be what they wanted me to be I cease to be what they wanted me to be I cease to be what they wanted me to be So forget the past Grab my hand
