Backwards

I pick myself up off the ground

I keep tellin' myself

No, I'm not backing down

I keep tellin' myself

The best is still yet to come

I keep tellin' myself

It's darkest before the dawn.

I will be seen and be heard

And they will hang on my every word.

I will break free from the chains

And beat anything you throw in my way.

I'm going backwards

And yet I'm made to believe

I'm moving forwards

And I'm chasing my dreams

But I'll be just who I wanna

Without you controlling, controlling me.
