Standing Up

My feet pound the pavement and I can’t stop running
Don’t even want to try stopping right now
I’ve got too much shit to do and too much shit to feel
To pause my life and think about you

I’m standing up, facing my problems head-on
I’m standing up, learning to walk alone again
I’m standing up, hoping to try one more time
I’m standing up, starting the path to my dreams

There’s too little time to get a handle on my life
Got a future to finally settle into
Need to put my past on the backburner for now
Close my eyes and take that leap

I’m standing up, facing my problems head-on
I’m standing up, learning to walk alone again
I’m standing up, hoping to try one more time
I’m standing up, starting the path to my dreams

Sometimes I remember you
Remember that look on your face
When I left for the last time
It haunts me every night
That I wrecked us forever
But I can’t go back to yesterday
No, I can’t regret that I finally left
That I stopped letting you hold me back

I’m standing up, facing my problems head-on
I’m standing up, learning to walk alone again
I’m standing up, hoping to try one more time
I’m standing up, starting the path to my dreams

I know I’m going to falter but I swear I’ll get back up
As many times, as many ways, as I need to
Maybe I might trip but I’ll learn to catch myself
Now I know just what I need

I’m standing up, facing my problems head-on
I’m standing up, learning to walk alone again
I’m standing up, hoping to try one more time
I’m standing up, starting the path to my dreams

I’m standing up, saying good-bye to what I knew
I’m standing up, trusting in myself to know the way
I’m standing up, believing that this time will be good
I’m standing up, knowing that someday I’ll make it
