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
