lyrics

You asked if I could
would I take it all back
would I do anything for the life I had?
you said "would you?"

I said if I climbed to the highest mountain
ripped knees, dried mouth,
tears of exhaustion for you
would you still say "it wasn't enough"?
would you look at me straight,
say "why don't you try?"

I had to learn
that giving up
isn't always giving in

it's learning how
to love yourself
learning to live again
that's what I did

So no, I wouldn't change a thing
even my darkest moments
I'd keep everything
the bruises in my veins
the lessons I learned from the pain

It's the way I'm built
I take all I've felt and dispel it
using piano keys or guitar strings
singing about when you loved me

I had to learn
that giving up
isn't always giving in

it's learning how
to love yourself
learning to live again
that's what I did
