[Verse 1]
Been chewed up by mornings
Spat out by the night
Drank shame like cheap coffee
Learned to live with the bite
I’ve buried my failures
In fields with no name
But the dirt under my fingernails
Still remembers the shame
[Chorus]
I got what it takes
(soft female: I got what it takes)
No venom can stop me
(whispered: can’t stop me)
Don’t try to stop me now
(soft: don’t, don’t)
I go all the way
(all the way, all the way)
[Verse 2]
Your doubt’s on the table
Like a glass gone warm
You say I’m too broken
To make it through the storm
But I’ve walked on the splinters
Of every old vow
If pain couldn’t break me then
You won’t break me now
[Chorus]
I got what it takes
(soft female: I got what it takes)
No venom can stop me
(soft: it can’t, it can’t)
Don’t try to stop me now
(please don’t try, please don’t)
I go all the way
(all the way, all the way)
[Bridge]
I’ve been the last one standing
In a room of empty chairs
Learned power in the trembling
Made a home inside my scares
So if you’re gonna leave me
Then leave and be done
I’ll still be here walking
Straight into the sun
[Chorus]
I got what it takes
(soft female: I got what it takes)
No venom can stop me
(can’t poison this heart)
Don’t try to stop me now
(soft: don’t you dare, don’t you)
I go all the way
(all the way, all the way)
[Outro]
Gravel in my breathing
Silk in your reply
Still I keep on walking
All the way
Till I die
