Burn The Boats

Verse 1

I’ve been half in most of my life

One foot out every time I try

Telling myself I’m almost there

But never really anywhere

She said “you don’t look like you believe in it”

Like she could see right through every little bit

Of me holding back what I should’ve let go

Standing there on the edge I didn’t know

Chorus

So I burned the boats

No way back to the shore I knew

Nothing left but what I choose to do

If it works or it breaks

If it saves or it takes me down

I’m not looking behind me now

I burned the boats

And I’m all in now

Verse 2

There’s a difference in running and running toward

And I spent too long keeping score

Of every time I almost changed

Then talked myself out of the flames

But something in me finally snapped

Like a line I couldn’t go back past

And I stopped asking what I might lose

And started asking what I might choose

Chorus

So I burned the boats

No way back to the life I knew

Nothing left but what I choose to do

If it works or it breaks

If it saves or it takes me down

I’m not looking behind me now

I burned the boats

And I’m all in now

Bridge

No safety net, no easy way out

Just a line in the sand I don’t cross now

If I fall, I fall moving forward

If I win, it’s because I went further

Final Chorus

I burned the boats

No turning back to the life I knew

Nothing left but what I choose to do

If it works or it breaks

If it saves or it takes me down

I’m not looking behind me now

I burned the boats

And I’m all in now
