I burnt out believing I could save the fallen world
Before I saved myself
Tried to be a hero but I only crashed and burned
But heaven is born from hell
Maybe it's not selfish to be happy
Maybe I could choose that for myself
I built up my strength inside the valleys
But I'm climbin' out
I've got nothin left to prove
I free my soul from howling at the moon
Everybody tells us we should work until we die
Living for sacrifice
But I think there's a million ways that we can build a life
So I'll take my own advice
Maybe it's not selfish to be happy
Maybe I could choose that for myself
I built up my strength inside the valleys
But I'm climbin' out
I've got nothin left to prove
I free my soul from howling at the moon
I was in a hurry pleasing everyone but me
Now I think I'll take my time
