[Verse 1]
For a long time, I would sit alone and think
That I'm better off all by myself, even if I sink
But you found me
And you helped me see the light
The dim fluorescent flicker
In a dark, defeated night
[Pre-Chorus]
I've had my fair share of losing
And I've hung on by a thread
Within meaning and the memories
Gain friends and wrote some melodies
[Chorus]
In the darkness
I just couldn't look ahead
I was blinded by my own self-doubt
And forgot what I was all about
Move forward
And try to let yourself in
It's not a bad thing to be brave
March on a path that you will pavе
[Post-Chorus]
Oh woah, woah
Woah, ooh
[Verse 2]
For a long time, I kept my heart closеd
Thought it easier to handle it
If I was on my own
But you taught me
Some things are worth the risk
Nothing comes too easily
When joy is dangerous
[Pre-Chorus]
I've had my fair share of losing
And I've hung on by a thread
Within meaning and the memories
Gain friends and wrote some melodies
[Chorus]
In the darkness
I just couldn't look ahead
I was blinded by my own self-doubt
And forgot what I was all about
Move forward
And try to let yourself in
It's not a bad thing to be brave
I'll march on a path that I will pave
[Post-Chorus]
Oh woah, woah
Woah, ooh
[Outro]
I'll move forward
And try to let myself in
'Cause nothing comes too easily
When joy is dangerous
