I Step up Lyrics

I ran from the fire, I ran from the truth

Told myself lies just to bury the proof

Face it

Wake up

But every shadow kept leading me back

No more excuses, I faced what I lacked

You were rising, you were strong

Healing wounds while I played along

She waits, but not forever

Thought I could hide, thought I was free

But I was chained to what I refused to see

Every sign, every call

Every echo down the hall

It was never just in my head

It was the path I feared to tread

Now I step up, I claim my place

No more fear, no more escape

I break the cycles, shine the past

I'm here to rise, to make it last

No more waiting, no more delay

The work is mine, I'll find my way

I see now, this love ain't weak

It's meant to burn, it's meant to teach

Crash it down, leave it all

Though being chased, she never begged

She let me fall, so I'd rise instead

Every sign, every call

Every sign, every call

Every echo down the hall

It was never just in my head

It was the path I feared to tread

Now I step up, I claim my place

No more fear, no more escape

Now I step up, I claim my place

No more fear, no more escape

I break the cycles, shine the past

I'm here to rise, to make it last

No more waiting, no more delay

The work is mine, I'll find my way

The work is mine, I'll find my way

Break it down

Walk away, meet her when you're ready

No shortcuts, there's no easy road

The soul must bleed for love to grow

This ain't a dream, this ain't a game

It's my reflection, it's my claim

Now it's my turn to meet her here

Not for her, not for a sign

This ain't a dream, this ain't a game

It's my reflection, it's my claim

But for myself, this love is mine
