Doubt

They said I’d never be a leader

They said I’d never wear a crown

If I wanted to be someone

I should learn to settle down

You should know better (I tell myself)

You’ll never go further (I warned myself)

You’ll never be better (you don’t know me that well)

I made it to the end

I nearly paid the cost

I lost a lot of friends

I sacrificed a lot

I’d do it all again

Cuz I made it to the top

But I can’t keep doubting myself anymore

Now you’re looking at a leader

Now you’re staring at a queen

You’d said I’d never be someone

But I’m pulling those strings

You should know better (you won’t make me back down)

You’ll never go further (can’t turn me around)

You’ll never be better (so no stopping me now)

I made it to the end

I nearly paid the cost

I lost a lot of friends

I sacrificed a lot

I’d do it all again

Cuz I made it to the top

But I can’t keep doubting myself anymore

You think you know, but you don’t know the half

You think you beat me down, but I’ll have the last laugh

I’ll keep getting up, cuz that’s what I want to do

I’m gonna be the best me, I’m sorry if it kills you
