Back Against Wall (Version 2)

Intro

(Yeah)

No more excuses...

(Let's go)

Verse 1

Yeah — I been sittin' in the dark with my back to the wall

Tellin' everybody 'round me that I'm fine, that's a fraud

Got a list full of reasons why I never even start

Half of 'em is fear and the other half is my heart

I keep waitin' for a sign, keep waitin' for a push

But the only one to blame for me stuck is me, look

I been pointin' every finger 'cept the one at my chest

"Later, I'll get to it" — now I'm late and I'm stressed

Chorus

No more excuses, no more lyin' to myself

No more blamin' everybody, blamin' everyone else

I been my own enemy, I been in my own way

But I'm done makin' excuses, takin' it back today

No excuses (no), no excuses (no)

Look myself in the mirror, time to prove it, move it

I'ma own every choice, every win, every loss

No excuses no more, I'ma carry the cost

Verse 2

I don't wanna wake up at the end of the line

Starin' at the could'ves that I left behind

Every "do it tomorrow" is a brick in the wall

Between me and the dreams that I wanted, that's all

Every scar that I got is a lesson, not a leash

Every fall taught me how to get up off my knees

So don't tell me what I can't, watch me prove that I can

'Cause the only thing between me and it is a plan

Chorus

No more excuses, no more lyin' to myself

No more blamin' everybody, blamin' everyone else

I been my own enemy, I been in my own way

But I'm done makin' excuses, takin' it back today

No excuses (no), no excuses (no)

Look myself in the mirror, time to prove it, move it

I'ma own every choice, every win, every loss

No excuses no more, I'ma carry the cost

Bridge

(So) I'm done, I'm done waitin' on a perfect day

I'm done lettin' my fear have the final say

Whatever it takes, whatever it cost

I'd rather lose tryin' than win actin' soft

Outro

(Yeah)

No more excuses... I'm takin' it back

(No more)

No more excuses... no turnin' back
