Lyrics

All this time I've waited, watching seasons disappear,
Trying to find the courage buried underneath the fear.
I kept my words in silence, let the moments pass me by,
Hoping life would change itself while I just stood aside.

I walked the roads I knew well, though they never led me far,
Tracing every memory like constellations in the dark.
I told myself tomorrow would be different from today,
But every dawn just found me in the same old place.

(Chorus)
I've been holding on too tight to things I should've let go,
Living in the shadows of the things I'll never know.
But I can feel the breaking of the walls I built inside--
All this time I've waited just to finally come alive.

I hear the echoes calling from the corners of my past,
Whispers of the chances that I never thought would last.
But something in me's shifting, like a tide that's turning slow,
Pulling me toward something I'm not scared to know.

(Bridge)
I can't keep running circles round the hurt I used to hide,
I can't keep blaming fate for every tear I cried.
There's a world beyond the quiet where my heart can finally speak,
And I'm stepping through the doorway with the strength I used to seek.

(Chorus)
I've been holding on too tight to things I should've let go,
Living in the shadows of the things I'll never know.
But I can feel the breaking of the walls I built inside--
All this time I've waited just to finally come alive.

Now the sky feels wider, and the air is warm and clear,
And I'm learning how to breathe without the weight of all those years.
I'm not who I was yesterday, and I'm not afraid to see
That the life I kept on waiting for is finally calling me.
