I won't turn back

Eyes on the ceiling again

Same old storm in my chest

Every mile that I've walked

Feels heavier when I rest

Those dark little voices

Lining up in my head

Saying "turn around now

You should quit instead"

But I remember every winter

Every night I almost left

All the shaking

All the splinters

Still breathing in my breath

I won't turn back

I didn't crawl this far to fall

I won't turn back

Even when the shadows call

Let the doubt talk loud

I'm walking through the sound of it

I won't turn back

I won't

I won't turn back

Hands on the table

Tracing scars in the grain

Every mark is a map

Of how I outlived the pain

Fear pulls like a riptide

Tries to drag me to shore

But I've tasted the distance

I want so much more

I won't turn back

I didn't crawl this far to fall

I won't turn back

Even when the shadows call

Let the doubt talk loud

I'm walking through the sound of it

I won't turn back

I won't

I won't turn back

I won't turn back

Like street signs at night

They don't know my story

They don't know my fight

So I breathe in the tremble

And stand in the ache

I am not my worry

I am every step I take
