lyrics

Could you settle for the little things?
A song that the whole world can sing
But still hums at a whisper
Could you really say you have enough?
If the only thing you needed was love
Could you find it within your self?

For a moment you know what to do
But you were skeptic till given the proof

Don't you dare just waste away
Life's to short to hesitate
I know at one point you had a dream
You had ambitions
Don't you dare make the same mistakes
Life's too short to hesitate
I know at one point you had a dream

Would you make it with the memories?
Are you happy with the life you lead?
Is it bound to get better?

For a moment you were spitting blood
On a canvas the red runs

Don't you dare just waste away
Life's to short to hesitate
I know at one point you had a dream
You had ambitions
Don't you dare make the same mistakes
Life's too short to hesitate
I know at one point you had a dream

Don't you dare just waste away
And don't you dare make the same mistakes
Cuz I know at one point you had a dream
Yeah I know at one point you had a dream
