Living by My Morals

Yeah, I see through the shadows, I stand tall, I stand proud

Walking with my morals, my compass in the dark

Trying to keep it real, but they see it as a spark

In a world where it's hard not to lose control

I'm just trying to keep my soul, while they pay the toll

And I wonder why, I get the blame

For making it easy, while they feel the pain

It’s a heavy load, but I gotta stay true

Understanding now, what I gotta do

Am I the only one, holding on so strong?

Should I be everybody’s favorite or just move along?

Them haters don’t understand the price I pay

Living by my morals every single day

They made their lives so hard, now they blame me for peace

Got no one to lean on, just me and my belief

I see how it is, gotta pay the price for my honesty

Stand tall in the storm, that’s the legacy

Yeah, I see through the shadows, I stand tall, I stand proud

Living with these morals, never backing down now

Shadows whisper secrets in the dark

Truths unfold in every lurking spark

Now I see through the disguise and lies

Trust’s a flickering flame that dies

Betrayal’s echoes, loud and clear

A silent scream only I hear

Reading lines of spoils and broken hearts

Unveiling stories from the start

Can I find what’s real beneath the guise?

Or just more shadowed skies?

No one's truly loyal, I’ve come to learn

Lessons carved deep, bridges burned

Eyes tell stories, stories cry

Will I reach above or just ask why?

Once I thought love was a burning ring

Now I question everything it could bring

Was deserving just a dream I had?

Or love’s a story that’s gone bad?

So I stand here, eyes open wide

In a world where trust and fears collide

Maybe someday I’ll find the truth

Till then, I read between the lines of youth
