I thought if I listened to my heart
I would find the right path to lead
Instead it sent me down a road of hurt
Where I thought I'd never breathe
So I listened to my mind this time
Only to feel like I'm missing out
My fear my doubts live in my mind
And they know how to hold me down
So how will I know which way to go?
When I don't know how to believe
I know I know which way to go
It's somewhere within me
Somewhere I can be free
