+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
