People running round in circles
Chasing faces chasing praise
Giving pieces of their hearts away
Just to earn a little grace
Doing favors for the fakers
Who would never do the same
You lose yourself a little more
Each time you play their game
But there’s a voice inside that’s screaming
Stop pretending start believing in yourself
You only start living
When you stop giving
A damn ‘bout what they say
Speak your truth, don’t fade away
If you don’t like someone, just say it
Don’t fake it, don’t delay it
Keep the real ones close today
And let the rest burn away
They lie with pretty faces
And somehow they still win
While honest hearts get broken
By the mess they’re drowning you in
But you can rise above the poison and be free
Yeah you can walk your own way
You don’t owe the world your silence be only yourself
You don’t owe them your decay
There’s a freedom in the knowing
When you stop the endless showing
You only start living
When you stop giving
A damn ‘bout what they say
Speak your truth, don’t fade away
If you don’t like someone, just say it
Don’t fake it, don’t delay it
Keep the real ones close today
And let the rest burn away
Let them talk let them whisper
Their words don’t cut like they used to do
When you stand in your own fire think wise
You’ll see the light inside you’s true and rise
You only start living
When you stop giving
A damn ‘bout what they say
Speak your truth, don’t fade away
If you don’t like someone, just say it
Don’t fake it, don’t delay it
Keep the real ones close today
And let the rest burn away
