Embrace & Destroy
Heideroosjes · Other Songs - Heideroosjes
I know things can be tough when you see no way out
And I want to catch you but it seems like my hands are tied
Embrace your future
Destroy your past
If that's what it takes to get up, stand fast
I hope you stay but I can only pray you hold on
Focus for a moment on all the loved ones you'll walk out on
And I want to give advice but you know more than I can teach
Embrace your future
Destroy your past
If that's what it takes to get up, stand fast
You don't need to tell me, what life has done to you
You don't need to tell me, 'cause I can see right through
Embrace your future
Destroy your past
If that's what it takes to get up, stand fast
