New Eyes

I'm giving up, I'm packing it in
I've had enough of this world that won't let me win
I'm out the door, I've got my ticket to run
I've been at this game for far too long
I spent a journey on my feet
And there were promises I thought I'd always keep
Never give up on your dreams
Is what they told me, told me

But when I walk away
Put this down and never pick it up again
Do I think I can truly extinguish the flame
Or will there be something inside me that wanted to stay
And what if I'm never the same?
And one day these dead dreams rise again
Telling me that I should have fought to find a way
Well I'm so scared that I will say

That I wish that I had never compromised
I wish for a heart wide open 'til I die
To live life's magic while I still have the time
I wish for everything with new eyes

I had given up, yeah, I had packed it in
Only to come back to it all again and again
And this road I've walked down, well was it really a sin?
I know I was a fool but sometimes fools can win
I've spent a journey choosing disbelief
And there was something I was always chasing just out of my reach
But I could never give up on these dreams even though they told me
They won't be, yeah I'd say

I wish that I will never compromise
I wish for a heart wide open 'til I die
To live life's magic while I still have the time
I wish for everything with new eyes

If only I knew what it takes to believe
Even though some things aren't a guarantee
Though the scars of my wars have humbled me
I still wanna believe, I wanna choose to see

I don't wanna look back and wish I did it differently
I wanna carry this now, to know the perfect me
I wanna wake up 'cause I have fallen asleep
I wanna breathe in all in this life around me

Well I wish that I will never compromise
Well I wish for a heart wide open 'til I die
To see life's magic while I still have the time
Well I wish for everything with new eyes

Well I wish that I will never compromise
Well I wish for a heart wide open 'til I die
To see life's magic while I still have the time
I wish for everything with new eyes
I had given up
I had packed it in
