I used to think that I was special, like a rose in a bouquet

Now I'm learning that my prickly thorns might ruin everything

I thought I was complacent, thought I knew just who I am

Now I'm deviating, turns and twisting, awol from my plan

I should've known

We're characters all reaping what we sew

What if I'm not enough?

What if I'm just a bluff?

What if I'm not anything for anyone besides when things are tough?

What if I'm just a trick?

What if I'm just for kicks?

I can't say I'm not proud of who I am, just contemplating where I stand

Every morning brings a mourning, from the things that still decay

But foundation is a castle built on sand that starts to shake

I wanted to be Winter, but the Sunrise fits my name

I wanted to be everything I tried to shun away

I should've known

As far as seasons go, I'm waiting out the snow

What if I'm not enough?

What if I'm just a bluff?

What if I'm not anything for anyone besides when things are tough?

What if I'm just a trick?

What if I'm just for kicks?

I can't say I'm not proud of who I am, just contemplating where I stand

New horizons, new beginnings

I won't be my own eclipse

I can ride the solar flares

Become my own Mistress

And as long as we're still playing

Pay attention, listen close

I'm still terrified of being

All the things I hate the most

What if I'm not enough?

What if I'm just a bluff?

What if I'm not anything for anyone besides when things are tough?

What if I'm just a trick?

What if I'm just for kicks?

I can't say I'm not proud of who I am, just contemplating where I stand

Take me back to where we started

I can't retrace the footsteps buried in the sand

Guess I know I've just departed

Made my leap, and now I'm seeing how it goes
