"The Price Of Dreaming" lyrics

I've been told that I'm no good
Told to abandon what means the most to me
I'm burdened by the sacrifice
At an age when the world says
I should be settled down

Too far to see
Can't make out all the details
No chance to breathe
Can't find the words to say goodbye

The only thing I'm allowed to keep
Is the hope
That they'll forgive me for leaving
A lonely life's the price of dreaming

Chase away
Chase away your hesitations
Take the reigns
Take the reigns and hold on for dear life

All the times I could've given up
All the pain that's built me up
Guiding me to what I need
Putting me on this path to live my dreams

The only thing I'm allowed to keep
Is the hope that they'll forgive me for leaving
A lonely life's the price of dreaming
Forgive me for leaving
A lonely life's the price of dreaming

I'm thinking
Of all the times that I've wanted to quit
And all the moments
That I struggled but pushed through it

I'm chasing a pipe dream
In hopes I'll make it on my own
It pains me detaching
From the world I know
This haunting reminds me
Of the things I'll miss out while I'm gone
It's exhausting, I'm searching
For where I belong

The only thing I'm allowed to keep
Is the hope that they'll forgive me for leaving
A lonely life's the price of dreaming
Forgive me for leaving
A lonely life's the price of dreaming
