Promise

Here I go with my damn wishful thinking
I'll never stop drinking
I'll never get old
May I die long before I ever grow tired
Enough to be somebody else

All that I need is right here with me
And everything I want is well within my reach
So who should I blame when I just feel too helpless to move
Placing my heart on the shelf
Like some meaningless trophy

For my participation in things I don't believe in
I did it to fit in
An empty sort of wholeness I chose for myself
All that I need is right here with me
And everything I want is well within my reach
So who should I blame when I just feel too helpless to move

I need to move
Forward
I made a promise to myself
That I'd do better
Than I have done in the past

This motivation is real
I want to see how far it takes me
I'll keep burning
Through the winds of my exhaustion
A wind that blew from a lack of trust in myself

I've lost all hesitation
I've grown to like who I am
I've grown to like who I am
