Three Seconds Away

Verse 1 I spent years in a room with the curtains closed Watching whole seasons fade through a phone screen glow Everybody moved on, I just stood in place Like a photograph trapped in a frozen frame But the silence got loud and the walls got thin Started hearing a voice underneath my skin Said, "You built this cage, you can break it too" Now I'm standing at the edge with a different view Pre-Chorus No more looking back at the smoke behind me No more letting old ghosts decide me I can feel the weight finally letting go Build Hands up if you're done being who they knew Hands up if you're ready for something new Every scar, every mile, every broken truth Led me here, led me here Countdown 3... 2... 3... 2... 1... GO! Drop Three seconds away from a brand new life Three seconds away from the other side No brakes, no chains, no reason to hide I'm already gone Three seconds away from the fear I knew Three seconds away from becoming new No road back now, I'm cutting through I'm already gone Verse 2 I remember every doubt that I carried around Like a backpack full of bricks trying to drag me down Every "you can't" turned into fuel in the tank Now they're watching me rise where they thought I'd sink I don't need revenge, I don't need a name I don't need applause just to feel okay All I ever wanted was a chance to breathe Now the horizon's calling me Pre-Chorus No more waiting for the world to save me No more letting hesitation break me I can feel the ground shaking below Build Every heartbeat lining up with the bass Every step putting distance in place Every mistake that I thought I'd waste Built this moment Countdown 3... 2... 3... 2... 1... JUMP! Drop Three seconds away from a brand new life Three seconds away from the other side No brakes, no chains, no reason to hide I'm already gone Three seconds away from the fear I knew Three seconds away from becoming new No road back now, I'm cutting through I'm already gone Bridge If I disappear tonight Don't call it running away Call it finally choosing myself Final Build We spent too long standing still We spent too long waiting We spent too long surviving Now... 3... 2... 3... 2... 3... 2... 1... Final Drop Three seconds away from the life I chased Three seconds away and I can't be changed Every version of me that I couldn't save Falls away tonight Three seconds away from the open sky Three seconds away from the reason why No looking down when the moment arrives I'm already gone
