Jade Jackson - Gilded Finish Line

Lyrics

I don’t care about things ‘cause they don’t care about me
My skin’s a lot thicker than you'd think it’d be
And I don’t need nothing to tie me down
I don’t need no one to care should I leave town

I saw the way they looked and I heard them laugh
They couldn’t wait to talk until I turned my back
Well I won’t be that bitter taste in their mouths
So I ain’t never going back to your family’s house

Waking up for the first time
Is when you don’t stop running at the finish line

Some things in life they stay the same
And they are usually the things we’d wish would change
So I won’t search for strength in someone else
Cause I can pat my own back by myself

Waking up for the first time
Is when you don’t stop running at the finish line
Waking up for the first time
Is when you don’t stop running at the finish line

I won’t worry about the roof that ain’t over my head
Hell I’d rather sleep out under these stars instead
And all the money in the world couldn’t buy me back
Ah, the Lord knows I’m too proud for that

Waking up for the first time
Is when you don’t stop running at the finish line
Waking up for the first time
Is when you don’t stop running at the finish line
