Mark my words

Don't bother wasting your doubt on me again

I don't care how small or how weak you think I am

I've already done your work and torn my mind to shreds

You've just been a thorn, a thistle in my side

As I walk through the trials and tribulations of this life

Why can't you see that I will disregard your opinions over my ambitions?

Because only I am the one that decides how I desire to live before I die

We don't have to live by

What success is in your eyes

I won't lose sight and live your lie

I'm here to fight and show them why

We don't have to let our dreams die

You are the one who led me to believe in

And I’ll be the one to say that I'm leaving

This bitterness you’ve pushed on me won't change what I’ll chase; the person that I’ll be

Because your doubts don't define me

You act like I'm the one that should show remorse over this all

I won't become a conflicted conscience over your fall

I've never been one to let anyone hold me back

So why should I be such a victim to my own mind's attacks

If I can choose not to let my heart collapse?

We don't have to live by

What success is in your eyes

I won't lose sight and live your lie

I'm here to fight and show them why

We don't have to let our dreams die

You’ve just been a thorn, a thistle in my side

As I try to make it out of these anxieties alive
