Olivia Cook - Wings Lyrics

A silly dreamer
They say there's no hope for me
A blind believer
Stuck in my fantasies
Yeah, I know that it's the road less traveled
I'm digging deeper, aware this desire's fragile

Oh, this path is headed uphill
Winding 'round a mountain, I'm breathing thin air
My confidence has been survivin'
But here, my optimism's getting scarce
Thinkin'

What if I
Never get my feet off the ground?
Terrified
I'll fail and I'll let myself down
What if I'm
Destined to miss it
Always desperate for what could've been?
What if I fly just to discover
These wings are broken?

My thoughts are hurtful
I'm afraid of failure
Scared I'm making circles
Never getting anywhere
The echoes of 'not good enough' still bounce around my mind
Trying my hardest to not fall behind

Maybe in the end I'll find out
That I never even stood a chance in this game
Maybe I'm wasting my time for nothin'
Just foolin' myself everyday
Thinkin'

What if I
Never get my feet off the ground?
Terrified
I'll fail and I'll let myself down
What if I'm
Destined to miss it
Always desperate for what could've been?
What if I fly just to discover
These wings are broken?

I've been told repeatedly
I cannot reach it
My future is looking bleak
But I refuse to quit
Hey!
I'm just barely starting
And I know it's a risk, but
I'd rather fail trying
Than never jump from the nest
And test these wings

So what if I
Never get my feet off the ground?
I'll know I tried
Failure will not hold me down
What if I'm
Destined to miss it?
I'd rather fall than let my fear win
What if I fly just to discover
These wings are perfect?
