Doubt lyrics

You said I'd never be a leader

You said I'd never wear a crown

If I wanted to be someone

I should learn to settle down

(You should know better)

I tell myself

(You'll never go further)

I warn myself

(You'll never be better)

Don't know me that well

I made it to the end

I nearly paid the cost

I lost a lot of friends

I sacrificed a lot

I'd do it all again

'Cause I made it to the top

But I can't keep doubting myself anymore

No!

I can't keep doubting myself

Now you're looking at a leader

Now you're staring at a queen

You said I'll never be someone

But now I'm pulling all the strings

(You should know better)

Won't let me back down

(You'll never go further)

Can't turn me around

(You'll never be better)

So no-one's stopping me now

I made it to the end

I nearly paid the cost

I lost a lot of friends

I sacrificed a lot

I'd do it all again

'Cause I made it to the top

I can't keep doubting myself anymore

No!

I can't keep doubting myself

You think you know

But you don't know the half

You think you beat me down

But I'll have the last laugh

I'll keep getting up

'Cause that's what I'm gonna do

I'm gonna be the best me

Sorry if it kills you

I made it to the end

I nearly paid the cost

I lost a lot of friends

I sacrificed a lot

I'd do it all again

'Cause I made it to the top

But I can't keep doubting myself anymore

No! No!

I can't keep doubting myself anymore
