[Verse 1]

[Chorus]
I'm cheerleading myself, I shouldn't really matter
I'm cheerleading myself, I shouldn't really matter
God, let it go, it doesn't mean a thing
(I'm cheerleading myself, I shouldn't really matter)
Chance and sow, nothing changing
(I'm cheerleading myself, I shouldn't really matter)
[Verse 2]
There's no time to go (to go)
Through the designs we know (we know)
Never mind, although (although)
Maybe this time, we'll grow (grow)
[Chorus]
I'm cheerleading myself, I shouldn't really matter
I'm cheerleading myself, I shouldn't really matter
God, let it go, it doesn't mean a thing
(I'm cheerleading myself, I shouldn't really matter)
Chance and sow, nothing changing
(I'm cheerleading myself, I shouldn't really matter)
[Chorus]
God, let it go, it doesn't mean a thing
(I'm cheerleading myself, I shouldn't really matter)
Chance and sow, nothing changing
(I'm cheerleading myself, I shouldn't really matter)
