A man on the back burner
Lately he’s being seeing ghosts
Mostly he’s afraid
As they echo through his home
He’s just trying to get some sleep
This is not what he wanted to be
Exchanging words no one wanted to hear
In his mind he knew no one could see
That all he wanted
Was a chance, for someone to believe
Won’t someone please believe
Hope can linger
He's not willing to lay down yet
I’m not going to give in yet
Because this promise is all i’ve got
They always told me life would never get the best of me
And i will push myself with a mind that is free
I will die a maverick
This bottle won’t get the best of me
So bittersweet and i’m alone again
But i will live a maverick
Fuck styles
And fuck trends
An open mind and a heart that lends
No limits
And no walls
Embrace the pain you feel through every fall
The only time that you run out of chances
Is when you stop taking them
That man once told me feeling empty and endless
The hurt you feel is only temporary
And i will live a maverick
As long as my hearts still beats
And i will die a maverick
No matter how cold i feel
