[Verse 1]
I tapered off for the summer
Because the winter lasted far too long
I found another way to live and I was wondering
Do you understand where you went wrong?
[Chorus]
Well, I won’t let it break me
I won’t let it take me hostage
I won’t let them shape me
Or criticize the shape that I’m in, no
[Verse 2]
I fell asleep and it was autumn
I’ll be ready for the spring by June
The way we dance around the seasons
It’s as if we need a reason not to justify the things we do
What’s it gonna take?
No, I can’t relate
To all this pettiness and people with petty thoughts
And it was setting in that I was settling
[Chorus]
But I won’t let it break me
I won’t let it take me hostage
I won’t let them shape me
Or criticize the shape that I’m in
[Post-Chorus]
What’s it gonna take to make this real?
[Bridge]
I’m telling grace
To work its way
Into my soul
Make me whole
Let it go
Set a goal
Take control
Change the world
[Chorus]
I won’t let it break me
I won’t let it take me hostage
I won’t let them shape me
Or criticize the shape that I’m in
[Outro]
What’s it gonna take to make this real?
And to make you feel something more?
What’s it gonna take?
