[Verse 1] I spent my whole life chasing what I’m not Trying to fit inside somebody else’s thoughts Everybody telling me what I should be But nobody ever asking what I need I followed the rules, I followed the pain I followed the voices inside my brain But now I’m standing here at twenty-something years Like, “why am I living off borrowed fears?” I don’t wanna just survive my days I wanna feel something real, something brave I don’t wanna wake up filled with regret Like I never really took a step [Pre-Chorus] I’m tired of running from who I am Just to be who they expect [Chorus] What do I want? I just wanna feel alive What do I want? A reason to wake up and try I don’t wanna be perfect I just wanna be me Even if it’s scary At least it’s free What do I want? I want peace in my head What do I want? To stop living in dread I don’t wanna be fearless I just wanna be strong Strong enough to say “This is where I belong” [Verse 2] I wanna love without feeling weak I wanna talk and not overthink I wanna stop holding my breath Every time I get close to something good I wanna build something I’m proud of Not just something that looks enough I wanna fail and still get back up Without feeling like I’m not enough I don’t need fame I don’t need gold I just wanna grow Before I get old I wanna look back and say I tried Even if some dreams never came alive [Pre-Chorus] I’m tired of letting fear decide Who I’m allowed to be [Chorus] What do I want? I wanna live my life Not just hide from the dark every night I don’t need a blueprint I don’t need control I just need a path That feels like home What do I want? I wanna believe That I’m not too broken To be happy I don’t wanna be numb I wanna feel Even if it hurts At least it’s real [Bridge] Maybe I don’t have all the answers Maybe that’s okay Maybe finding what I want Is the point of the way Maybe I don’t need to be fearless I just need to be brave Long enough to take a step In a different direction [Final Chorus] What do I want? I want a life I can love What do I want? More truth and less “enough” I don’t wanna be perfect I just wanna be whole I just wanna feel Like I finally know What do I want? I want to be me Not the version fear made me be I don’t need to have it all done I just need to finally choose What I want
