What I Live For Lyrics

One day, I looked back and I asked myself,

"Have I achieved all that I was lookin' for?"

That day, I realized that I'd pushed myself

to achieve what I thought was success and

I took myself to the places

I didn't even recognize and

I took a breath and told myself

From now on, I'll pave my own road

Be the person that I am proud to be

Be the lover who has more to give than take away

Do more good than bad

Give more than receive

Be the type of person who is thankful for her days

I've been told (by the world)

That success is (what you want)

Taking in (no matter what)

All that can give me the glory

I will not (from now on)

Chase after (aimlessly)

Pointless things (that don't matter)

Pay attention to what I live for

One day, I'll look back and I'll ask myself,

"Did I care for everyone I loved well?"

That day, I will know that I've made a choice

To care for what makes my life so beautiful

It took my life to places

I couldn't have imagine beyond my dreams

I'll take a breath and tell myself

I'm so glad I've paved my own road

Be the person that I am proud to be

Be the lover who has more to give than take away

Do more good than bad

Give more than receive

Be the type of person who is thankful for her days

I've been told (by the world)

That success is (what you want)

Taking in (no matter what)

All that can give me the glory

I will not (from now on)

Chase after (aimlessly)

Pointless things (that don't matter)

Pay attention to what I live for
