It has not been easy for me to be so vulnerable for so long on such a stage
I think that there is a part of me that sort of
Sees what I've given and sees the places where it hasn't always been
Respected or treated with care, um, and
And at, at, and at first, I thought it was me, I thought I was the problem
And I can be the problem, I'm not perfect, um
But I feel like at the end of my life, like, when I'm on my death bed
When I'm looking back on my life, I feel like I'll be able to confidently say
That so much of it was motivated by love
And actual care for the world around me
And hope that I could make it a different kinder place
For people who don't always feel welcome in it
And I sort of saw the world change, you know?
I, I, I found people who for some reason listen to my songs and heard my heart, um
And maybe that can be enough
I can lay it down and walk away knowing that my dreams came true
