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
