Don't hide your face, what you were before
It doesn't have to be you anymore

---

Gonna stand this ground
Gonna say it loud
Never define yourself
By choices others make

I keep my focus on the simple things
Try to find some peace along the way

I'll try but I could waste one million chances
Before you're gone
Before I get your name

But how am I supposed to know
Oh no, when to let the feelings show

---

There's what I want and what I need
And the latter takes a while to see

---

And I believe that what I've learned has worth
And what I choose to do means something

They say a diamond grows with time
