I’ve been making simple choices complicated
Looking for some kind of validation
At a single point in time it was revealed before my eyes
That i didn’t really know myself at all
The words upon my lips when no one’s listening
For the first time in my life i know they’re different
And the truth in my breath resonated when it said
There’s a story i’ve been telling all along
When the shine wears off, when the thrill is gonе
Am i building something that i’m proud of?
It shouldn’t it be so hard to play an honest part
But liеs of authenticity surrounded
And the me that i couldn’t remember
I found when i surrendered
I was always holding myself hostage
Selling myself short but i still bought it
The bad before the good
Believing that i could keep up the act
And keep the wolves at bay
The answer wasn’t written in pretending
A fight that i was fighting ain’t worth winning
’cause they’ll dress you up in robes
Give you a crown of gold
And you might feel like a king for the day
But when the shine wears off, when the thrill is gone
Am i building something that i’m proud of?
It shouldn’t it be so hard to play an honest part
But lies of authenticity surrounded
And the me that i couldn’t remember
I found when i surrendered
When i surrendered
I’ve been making simple choices complicated
Looking for some kind of validation
But when the shine wears off, when the thrill is gone
Am i building something that i’m proud of?
It shouldn’t it be so hard to play an honest part
But lies of authenticity surrounded
And the me that i couldn’t remember
Yeah, the me that i couldn’t remember
I found when i surrendered
