**INTRO:**
(Slow beat fades in)
Yeah...the irony in this song is palpable,
Finding my path...I think I finally found it
I used to doubt I even had a future...
But it's all about perspective, people...
Instead of looking for joy in others, find it within yourself...it's in there if you dig far enough
(Beat builds)Yea,yea,YEEEEAAAH!
**VERSE 1:**
Joy of not needing to stress about a diamond ring
No worries about a ringin phone at 3 AM
That used to make my heart race then sink again
But you didn't have to leave me with that look on your face
Appalled
Like the reason I left was all my fault
And we both know that's not the case
I'm not taking it anymore
Not taking blame, I'm closing the gates
The doors to my heart are sealed with new fate
And if you fall, do your best to get up
Because...
**CHORUS:**[repeat x2]
I won't see, I won't be there at all
For the rest of your life if that's what you needed
'Cause the best thing that happened to you
Turns out, it was me leaving
I won't see, I won't be there at all
Finding my path without your misleading
The best thing I did for myself
Was finally believing
**VERSE 2:**
Every day I'm mapping the road ahead
No more detours through someone else's head
My compass points to places I've never been
Rediscovering parts of myself hidden within
The weight of your expectations lifted from my chest
Now I breathe deeper, sleep better, stress less
Each step forward feels right even when I'm unsure
This path is mine alone, and that's what I'm fighting for
**BRIDGE:**
Heavy, heavy breathing
Results of what I'm feeling
Years of doubt now retreating
Wounds closing, slowly healing
Rediscovering joy in ordinary things
Morning coffee, evening dreams
No more chains, no more strings
This is what freedom brings
**VERSE 3:**
Currently, I struggle with the ways to clear my mind
Different methods up for debate
Multiple ideologies fill my slate
Take control, set my goals, guide my life
Determine what's right for me this time
Do I stay on track, or do I go?
Straight ahead? Do I make a left? Do I make a right?
The path is foggy but the horizon's bright
**FINAL CHORUS:**[repeat x2]
I don't know, I don't know at all
But I trust that
I'll feel it when I need it
I'll let my instinct take the wheel
No longer afraid to believe it
This path is finally real
I don't know, I don't know at all
But I know that
I'll feel it when I need it
I'll let my instinct guide me home
I won't deny what will free me
**OUTRO:**
(Beat continues)
Trusting myself...
(Echo: "myself...")
Finding my way...
(Beat slows)
One step at a time...
(Echo: "my time...")
(Beat fades)
