Well I look to the stars and I'll trust in the sky

Yet I'm still left with questions keeping me up every night

Like why is this all such a part of a delicate plan?

And why do I feel it's so out of my hands?

Well I recall being small and still feeling the same

And despite my innocence I thought I had the easiest of ways

Yet the angels they call me, they cry out my name

And the pen on the pillow, guess you could call me the brave

To surrender or die for this

To surrender, live my life or die for this

'Cause forever's a road paved in blistering heat

And I've beaten this path with bloody hands and tired feet

And although I've stumbled I've met no defeat

Yeah these soles on my shoes, yeah they've yet to fail me

If it looks good on paper they'll say keep treading water girl

You'll know success when you've lost all your friends

Didn't they tell you you'd pay for these sins?

I won't let home the fires coming back again

'Cause when everyone's fixing their positions upon me

When love isn't love it's just a song from the stage

Standing here in tears with my fists clenched in a rage

Yet the child inside me still is fighting for her way

To surrender or die for this

To surrender, live my life or die for this
