Promise
Hudgens Vanessa Lyrics

What you think about this? I been holding it in now I'm letting it flow
Asking for the listener's opinion on a decision to express oneself honestly and freely after keeping emotions hidden

I'm gonna do my own thing yeah I'm flying solo so Don't tell me how its gonna be
Asserting independence and rejecting attempts to control or manipulate one's choices

On my own And the thing of it is There's nothing round here that I'm gonna miss Cause you're holding me down
Emphasizing the desire to break away from a stifling environment or relationship and pursue new opportunities

I just wanna fly There comes a time when I gotta say goodbye To the life that you see me in Here's where I begin
Expressing a need for change and growth, even if it means leaving behind familiar people and situations

And I promise myself I ain't nobody's, I just wanna be free And I promise myself Even though it don't always come easy Gonna learn from my pain Never explain Do it my way, that's what I say Promise myself I'm the only one who will believe me
Making a commitment to personal autonomy, self-respect, perseverance, and learning from mistakes, while rejecting the need for outside validation or approval

There's a voice in my head Telling me come on, come on, move on
Acknowledging an internal motivation to pursue new experiences and leave behind stagnation or negativity

They say what doesn't kill you can Make you strong Now I know what it means You can try to bend but you ain't breakin my dreams
Recognizing that adversity can be a source of strength and resilience, and refusing to give up on personal aspirations despite opposition or setbacks

I'll be making mistakes Comin up at a loss I'll be tumbling down But Like MC shake it off I'll stay cool cause I know who's boss Of me, myself, and I
Acknowledging that making errors and experiencing setbacks are part of the learning process, and reminding oneself to remain composed and self-directed throughout the journey

I'll keep movin even when the beat is gone (I will) I'll keep doin what I got to do to carry on (I will) So don't hold me down cause I'm gonna fly And the time has come and gotta say goodbye To the life that you see me in Here's where I begin
Affirming a commitment to persistence and resilience in the face of challenges, refusing to be discouraged or restrained by external factors, and preparing to embark on a new phase of personal growth and exploration
