lyrics

To love my own, or take all your love for me:
the crux of this rigid dichotomy.
She said, "you know everything doesn't have to be so black and white,
but you won't think that I'm right."

I've grown complacent with these crutches you gave me.
We're lying adjacent, but I can't feel myself there.

Your doubts might be valid,
but you gotta let go and let me drive from here.
No, I'm not changing.
I'm just growing into my skin.

To do what they want, or chase a childhood dream.
The choice has been weighing so heavily on my mind.
But I know that they're just looking out for me.
I become stagnant in safety.

Your doubts might be valid,
but you gotta let go and let me drive from here.
No I'm not changing,
I'm just growing into my skin.

If I have a plan B, then I'm setting plan A up to fail.
Commit to it.
