Ratthew - let my dreams go Lyrics

I guess I share too much about
The life I'm living
They'd probably play my songs more
If I sang about drinking

I'm no longer
Knee deep in booze
Still got the blues
With a sour attitude
And I've been abused
Rather I've been used
Please forgive me if I come across as rude

I watched a young man
Lose the light in his eye
And consider suicide
That young man didn't try
For he is I
My dreams kept me alive

But my dreams
Are slowly killing me
I wish I'd seen
More opportunity
To chase them
I wish I'd known
Long ago
This was the life
I was destined to follow
And now I'm scared that
I'll never know
When I should let my dreams go

There's too many people in the world
For everyone to get what they want mhm
I set myself up for chances to get mine
But those were all just taunts

They said that
You're not perfect
You're Not great
You're just OK
And it's not what we need
So hey good luck
Just know it's tough
The music industry gets rough

So please protect
Your mentals
Please still have fun
It's not sentimental
To remember where you're from
I still miss my family
I still sing my poems
I swear my dreams are worth well it
And I'll make it home

But my dreams
Are slowly killing me
I wish I'd seen
More opportunity
To chase them
I wish I'd known
Long ago
This was the life
I was destined to follow
And now I'm scared that
I'll never know
When I should let my dreams go


And I won't let what you say
Define my goals
I swear I'll make it someday
But then again, nobody knows

That's why my dreams
Are slowly killing me
I wish I'd seen
More opportunity
To chase them
I wish I'd known
Long ago
This was the life
I was destined to follow
And now I'm scared that
I'll never know
When I should let my dreams go
