and hold it in instead of shout it out
That was me
that was then
but not anymore
not anymore
No more pretending to agree
ignoring that voice inside of me
Scared to say
what I feel
I'm not at war with myself anymore
I won't hold back
I won't hold back
I've had enough
I'm over that
I say what I feel and mean what I say
If I go down in flames, you'll remember my name
No back and forth
been down that road
From this moment on
I'm in control
I know where I stand, I know when
I'll say it again:
I won't hold back, oh no
I won't hold back
I can't hold back
I used to smile and nod my head
where my soul got a thousand deaths
That was me
that was then
that was yesterday
yesterday
I found out that I can never be
What someone else wants me to be
I gotta be me
and nobody else
I'm not gonna second guess myself
I won't hold back
I won't hold back
I've had enough
I'm over that
I say what I feel and mean what I say
If I go down in flames, you'll remember my name
No back and forth
been down that road
From this moment on
I'm in control
I know where I stand, I know when
I'll say it again:
I won't hold back, oh no
I won't hold back
I can't hold back
There's nothing more beautiful
than the feeling
of reaching for the dream that you always believed in
There's nothing more beautiful
than the feeling
of reaching for the dream that you always believed in
I won't hold back
I won't hold back
I've had enough
I'm over that
I say what I feel and mean what I say
If I go down in flames, you'll remember my name
No back and forth
been down that road
From this moment on
I'm in control
I know where I stand, I know when
I'll say it again:
I won't hold back, oh no
