I know there's truth
There's truth in consequences
I'm living with the hope that one day
One day you'll embrace this
You can strengthen your legacy
Is there something, something you would die for…
Show me
The heart you have inside
Show me
You won't ever let this die
Show me
Strength through the hardship
Of what you are
I'll make this life into something more
Take away, take away
Our regrets
‘Cause the pain we feel is worth it
And the time we get, time we get is luck
You speak about time and space between
As if it justifies your way out
You’re not the only one to chase this dream
Show me there's something
Anything you would die for
Show me
The heart you have inside
Show me
You won't ever let this die
Show me
Strength through the hardship
Of what you are
I'll make this life into something more
Take away, take away
Our regrets
‘Cause the pain we feel is worth it
And the time we get, time we get
Time we get is luck
Now's not the time to falter
Everyone has a fucking choice
To take the chance or lose your voice
Or lose your voice
Show me
The heart you have
The heart you have inside
