I'm gonna go strong

I chose not to give in
I realized choices are just the crossroads of a bridge
And this is one I'm not crossing over
Sometimes we let ourselves go, we just drift away
Hiding behind fears that blind our display
But deep down, we choose what we let stay
Then we claim to suffer what wakes up the next day

Today I looked in the mirror, chose not to blame
Anyone else for the seeds of my own name
Today I looked at myself, decided to awake
To build new memories for my future's sake

I won't give in, I'm gonna grow strong
And day after day, I'll choose where I belong
I won't give in, just watch and see
Better bridges will be crossed by me

Today I stopped lying, deceiving, and faking
Like I'm just a victim, it was my own undertaking, my own choosing
And everything I have, everything I live, everything I feel
Only came and stayed when I made it real
And today I spoke, I screamed to my soul
That today I stopped, today I took control
And every single step will only be made
If it leads to the path where my dreams were laid

Today I looked in the mirror, chose not to blame
Anyone else for the seeds of my own name
Today I looked at myself, decided to awake
To build new memories for my future's sake

I won't give in, I'm gonna grow strong
And day after day, I'll choose where I belong
I won't give in, just watch and see
Better bridges will be crossed by me

I won't give in, I'm gonna grow strong
And day after day, I'll choose where I belong
I won't give in, just watch and see
Better bridges will be crossed by me
