I'm coming out the shadows of who I was
At one point I thought I would not get out
It seemed like I was crossing streets
Without looking in either direction
Yeah
And watch me beat out expectations
And even though I was doomed from the start
And still, I'll be jumping cliffs without looking at where I'm falling
And whoa, ooooh
To explain the things that I wanted to but I couldn't say
Announced that somewhere out there I will be found
And only 'cause it's you
And all that you do
Versus me
And all I could be
Darling, how could you believe that I'd become something big
And they'd realize that someday? Oh
'Cause even if it mattered don't you know that I would rather
Try and deal with this my own way?
Don't you be shy to escape
From everyone and everything you blame
'Cause it hurts to view your plight
When it might not live up the hype
I'm just trying to prove there's a will, there's a way
And no one out there can change my real name
'Cause I've signed on the line, I have made my resolve
And if there's a god then I martyr my love
'Til I find exposition in hope
I've risen the stakes but lowered the odds
I'll be saved and I'll say farewell
I'm battling armies attempting to have us all condemned (to hell!)
It won't help
To explain the things that I wanted to but I couldn't say
Announced that somewhere out there I will be found

And only 'cause it's you
