The Price Of Dreaming

I've been told that I'm no good

Told to abandon what means the most to me

I'm burdened by the sacrifice

At an age when the world says

I should be settled down

Too far to see

Can't make out all the details

No chance to breathe

Can't find the words to say goodbye

The only thing I'm allowed to keep

Is the hope

That they'll forgive me for leaving

A lonely life's the price of dreaming

Chase away your hesitations

Take the reigns and hold on for dear life

All the times I could've given up

All the pain that's built me up

Guiding me to what I need

Putting me on this path to live my dreams

The only thing I'm allowed to keep

Is the hope

That they'll forgive me for leaving

A lonely life's the price of dreaming

Forgive me for leaving

A lonely life's the price of dreaming

I'm thinking of all the times

That I've wanted to quit

And all the moments

That I struggled but pushed through it

I'm chasing a pipe dream

In hopes I'll make it on my own

It pains me

Detaching from the world I know

This haunting reminds me

Of the things I'll miss out while I'm gone

It's exhausting

I'm searching for where I belong

The only thing I'm allowed to keep

Is the hope

That they'll forgive me for leaving

A lonely life's the price of dreaming

Forgive me for leaving

A lonely life's the price of dreaming
