I CHOOSE WHAT STAYS 🖤Jana Matula × InnerArt

[VERSE 1] You know what makes a star shine A shit load of darkness The world may knock you down Try to pull you under But you don’t have to let it You can turn it all around Take what tried to break you And make something good from it Manifest the light Even when you’re standing in the dark [VERSE 2] We are what we take from a situation We are in control Not of what they do But how we let it sit with us How long we let it stay How much space we let it take Holding onto anger Doesn’t hurt the one who hurt you It just keeps hurting you And no one deserves more hurt Than they’ve already been through [CHORUS] Life’s gonna knock your ass down A time or two Hell maybe a dozen or two But that’s alright Get back up Keep it going Keep it moving Keep on keeping on You don’t have to carry Everything they put you through Sometimes the darkest nights Are what make a star shine through I can't make the dark unhappen I can't love it into light Some things leave a mark forever That doesn't mean they own my life I can hurt and still keep moving I can love and walk away I don't have to kill the feeling I just have to let it change [BRIDGE] You can’t choose every storm You can’t stop every fall But you can choose What you take from it all Let go of the anger Let go of the weight You’ve already hurt enough Don’t make yourself hurt again [FINAL CHORUS] Life’s gonna knock your ass down A time or two Hell maybe a dozen or two Get back up Keep it going Keep it moving Keep on keeping on Take the dark Find the light Make something good from the fight Because you know what makes a star shine A shit load of darkness
