I gave up everything to follow my dream
And leave by the highway tonight
Oh I'd still go even with these sharpen knifes pointed at my throat
From those that i don't even know and those i love the most
You try to bring me down in the things i pursue
But I don't travel down these roads to satisfy you
(I don't do these things for you I do them for me)
I do this for myself
(I dont do these things for you I do them for me)
Conversations on the side
Eyes are shifting left and right
Find your target, take aim but your on my blindside
Cut me down so you can satisfy the smiles
Drag me through the dirt just to further fuel the fire
I'd rather die than let you get the best of me
But I can't (I can't) and I won't (I won't) let all my dreams go
This is my life and these are my dreams
And you'll never take them away from me
And the shadows are home in some perfect time
I punch my chest to make sure i'm alright
And my heart feels intact and my lungs are fine
But not for long as you pick on the night
I don't do these things for you i do them for me
I don't do these things for you i do them for me
I don't do these things for you i do them for me
I don't do these things for you i do them for me
I don't do these things for you i do them for me
I don't do these things for you i do them for me
You try to bring me down and the things I pursue
But I don't travel down these roads to satisfy you
You gotta go
