Awake
The Making of Lyrics

My mistake,
I have realized that I was wrong before.

You should never be afraid to cut your losses.
It is important to know when to move on and not hold onto something that is not worth it.

Now I know, now I know,
I understand now what I did not understand before.

It was mine to make.
I take responsibility for my decisions and their consequences.

I was putting up a fight for worthless causes,
I was putting in effort and energy for things that were not worth it or did not matter.

Now I know just to let it go.
I understand now that it is better to let go of things that are not valuable or necessary.

I was dying for our moment to arrive,
I was eagerly anticipating a certain moment or event that was important to me.

Now I'm running further just to feel alive.
Now I am moving forward and seeking new experiences and opportunities to feel energized and fulfilled.

Don't wanna get caught up
I do not want to become too focused or obsessed with something.

Dreaming of your love.
I do not want to become too invested in the idea or feeling of being in love.

Cause when I open my eyes,
When I face reality or see things clearly.

There's not a shot in this life.
There is no hope for what I am seeking or hoping for.

I might as well give up,
It is better to quit or stop trying because there is no chance of success.

And save all my good luck
I should hold onto my opportunities and not waste them on something that will not work out.

For when I've got the extra change.
I should use my resources and energy wisely instead of wasting them on something that won't benefit me.

You can move aside cause now I'm wide awake.
I am now aware and alert to the reality of the situation and I won't be fooled again.

Calling out,
Trying to connect with someone or something.

You don't even pick it up on nights and weekends
The other person is not available or attentive when I need them.

Over and over.
Repeating the same pattern or experience.

Talk about
Conversing or discussing something.

Not giving up for all the wrongest reasons
Continuing to hold on for reasons that are misguided or not sensible.

How was I misled for so much time?
How did I get fooled or misguided for so long?

When it's all been said and done I'll be alright.
When everything is over and resolved, I will be okay and move on.

But is it getting any better yet?
Is the situation or experience improving at all?

And is it getting any better yet?
Repeating the same question, wondering if things are improving.

Is it getting any better yet?
Questioning if the situation or experience is improving in any way.

The word is out that I'm not giving in,
People know that I am not giving up or quitting.

And if you're ready by now, well, it's too late to begin.
If you are only now willing to begin, it is too late and I have already moved on.
