[Verse 1] I’ve fallen down so many times Felt the ache, the sharpest lies I’ve been betrayed I’ve tasted pain Bitterness flooding through my veins The weight was heavy My soul worn thin But deep inside There’s peace within [Pre-Chorus] I thought of quitting Leaving it all But something in me won’t let me fall My dreams still call I can’t ignore I have to fight I need it more [Chorus] It’s not fair to myself, not this way To give up on the dreams I crave I need to keep going, I have to believe Persistence is how I learn to breathe [Verse 2] These scars remind me where I’ve been Proof I’m strong, that I can win Each fall I took Each twisted turn Built who I am Made me burn A new beginning From every end I rise again Again, again [Bridge] Sometimes I want to walk away But my heart tells me to stay The road is long So hard to see But I won’t lose What’s meant for me [Chorus] It’s not fair to myself, not this way To give up on the dreams I crave I need to keep going, I have to believe Persistence is how I learn to breathe
