I'm sitting in a dark room thinking about who I'm supposed to be
And how much that means to me
Feeling like the outside's looking in
Staring a hole through me
But I can't tell what they see

They'll take the time to look you in the eye and try to break you as a man
I'm just doing the best I can
But I'm held by the fear that's keeping me here
Pressing me under my own thumb
Well I will not succumb

I've gotta keep moving on to higher ground
Starting today, making my way
Ain't no reason to be stuck around
Letting life get away (fading away)
Gotta keep moving on to higher ground
No matter what they say,
I'm gonna keep moving anyway

Well everyday it feels like everyone's moving in separate ways.
But still trying to make me stay.
Well, I'm losing all my daylight thinking about what other people say
It's all too much for me
Oh I worried about facts and how will they react
To the man that I’m trying to be today
That can't be the way

I gotta keep moving on to higher ground
Starting today, and make my way
Ain't no reason to be stuck around
Letting life get away (fading away)

Especially when every single day
Is a gift, not a promise, wouldn't you say?
And I just cannot let myself get in the way
Of enjoying this life my way (yeah)

I've been so scared of being my self today
I've been way too scared of living my life my way
I've been so scared of doing the things my heart say
I've been way too scared but not anymore!

Gotta keep moving on to higher ground
Starting today, making my way
Ain't no reason to be stuck around
Letting life get away (fading away)
Gotta keep moving on to higher ground
That's the only way I know I'll be okay

But I don't wanna fade away
I don't wanna fade away...
I don't wanna fade...
