No More Excuses

歌詞

[Verse 1] Looking in the mirror at the face I've known Always playing small, always on my own "It's too hard," I'd say, "The timing isn't right" But those words were chains keeping dreams out of sight [Pre-Chorus] Today I finally see it clear These excuses cost me years [Chorus] Goodbye to the me who hid behind "I can't" Goodbye to the shadows where I used to stand No more stories of why it won't work out This is where I rise, this is where I shout I'm leaving behind that uncool part of me The one with a thousand reasons not to be From now on I'll say "watch me" instead of "why" To that old self – it's time to say goodbye [Verse 2] Every opportunity I let slip away "Tomorrow" was the promise I made each day Friends moved forward while I stayed frozen still Afraid of the climb, afraid of the hill [Pre-Chorus] But something's different now inside These chains no longer hold me tight [Chorus] Goodbye to the me who hid behind "I can't" Goodbye to the shadows where I used to stand No more stories of why it won't work out This is where I rise, this is where I shout I'm leaving behind that uncool part of me The one with a thousand reasons not to be From now on I'll say "watch me" instead of "why" To that old self – it's time to say goodbye [Bridge] It's not about being flawless from the start It's about taking chances, playing your part Fall down seven times, stand up at eight The only real failure is giving up the game [Final Chorus] Goodbye to the me who hid behind "I can't" Goodbye to the shadows where I used to stand No more stories of why it won't work out This is where I rise, this is where I shout I'm leaving behind that uncool part of me The one with a thousand reasons not to be From now on I'll say "watch me" instead of "why" To that old self – it's time to say goodbye That uncool self – it's time we say goodbye
