I'm on a highway full of red lights

I lost so many long nights

Felt words that cut like knives

I know I know they're gonna

Say what they wanna

I know they're gonna

Say what they want (want want)

But I feel it changing

I can taste it, I'm on the wave and

I won't waste it

I have been patient

But I'm not waiting anymore

Not anymore, no

I'm gonna dance on broken glass

On broken glass

And I'm gonna make that ceiling crash

That ceiling crash

So what? Still got knives in my back

So what? So I'm tied to the tracks

I'm gonna dance on broken glass

And here I go, here I go

(Oh, oh, oh) Yeah, here I go, here I go

(Oh, oh, oh) Yeah, here I go, here I go

So I bet on me and my own heartbeat

When all the odds are piling

Like bricks around my feet

You know you know it's more than

More than just for me

You know it's worth it

I still believe, yeah yeah

I'm gonna dance on broken glass

On broken glass

And I'm gonna make that ceiling crash (uh)

That ceiling crash

So what? Still got knives in my back

So what? So I'm tied to the tracks

I'm gonna dance on broken glass

And here I go, ya here I go

(Oh, oh, oh) Yeah, here I go, here I go

(Oh, oh, oh) And here I go, here I go

Through to the other side, baby I'll survive

'Cause you know I'm a fighter

Through to the other side, baby I'm on fire

'Cause you know I'm a survivor

Through to the other side, baby I'll survive

'Cause you know I'm a fighter

Through to the other side, baby I'm on fire (on fire)

I'm gonna dance on broken glass

On broken glass

And I'm gonna make that ceiling crash (uh)

That ceiling crash

So what? Still got knives in my back

So what? So I'm tied to the tracks

I'm gonna dance on broken glass

And here I go, here I go

(Oh, oh, oh) Yeah, here I go, here I go

(Oh, oh, oh) And here I go, here I go.
