I was controlled by inner shadows
They've been driving me insane
But I won't let my past dictate my fate

I'll break free from the chains
Put an end to the hate
And embrace a life, I know I deserve
There were times when I thought that I don't own a worth
And I could never be loved
Well, mainly by myself

I'm taking control, and standing up tall
I'm taking control, won't let myself fall

I am done with feeling weak and small
And letting myself down
I am holding on so I won't fall
So I won't drown
I know it won't be easy but I'm ready to fight
I have faith in myself and I know I'm alright
It's time to leave the past behind

(Behind, behind)
I was drowning in the darkness and I couldn't catch my breath
It felt like I was choking, I was living a slow death
I know It's been a journey but I'm feeling so blessed
'Cause I'm taking back my life and standing up to the past

I'm taking control, and standing up tall
I'm taking control, won't let myself fall

I am done with feeling weak and small
And letting myself down
I am holding on so I won't fall
So I won't drown
I know it won't be easy, but I'm ready to fight
I have faith in myself and I know I'm alright
It's time to leave the past behind
Behind

I'm forgiving myself for all that I've done
All the mistakes that I thought were never undone
I'm looking forward to a brighter tomorrow
I'm saying goodbye to all the pain and sorrow
I'm forgiving myself for all that I've done
All the mistakes that I thought were never undone
I'm looking forward to a brighter tomorrow
I'm saying goodbye to all the pain and sorrow
But now I'm taking charge of my own life
Putting an end to all the self-inflicted strife
I'm breaking free from the chains of doubt
And I'm embracing a life that I'm excited about

I'm done with living in the past
I'm done with feeling like I'm not enough
I won't let myself be pushed around
With that new faith, that I found
