Everything I Traded For This - Chapter IV: The Momentum
Verse 1
Got a hundred thousand people
Watching to see what I do next
I used to just want to be enough
Now I'm scared of becoming a "what happened to her" text
Every win just raises the bar
Every "amazing job" comes with a quiet "again?"
I don't remember the last time
Something felt like enough, felt like it didn't have to happen again—
Chorus
Can't stop now, everyone's watching
Can't stop now, I built this whole thing on more
Just can't stop now, everyone's watching
I used to run because I wanted to
Now I think I'm running
Because I'm scared of who's behind me, who might catch up, who might come through
Who might come through—
Verse 2
I check the numbers first thing every morning
Before coffee, before I even fully wake
I used to make things because I loved them
Now I make things to see how much they'll take
My name and my work are the same thing now
I can't tell anymore where one starts
If the numbers dropped tomorrow
I don't know what would be left, what part—
Chorus
Can't stop now, everyone's watching
Can't stop now, I built this whole thing on more
Still can't—
Can't stop now, everyone's watching
I used to run because I wanted to
Now I think I'm running
Because I'm scared of who's behind me, who might catch up, who might come through
Bridge
When did the dream start driving me
Instead of the other way around?
I built a life that looks like winning
And I don't recognize the sound
Of my own voice in it anymore
In it anymore—
Final Chorus
Can't stop now, everyone's watching
I don't even know if I still want this, or just want to keep it
Can't stop now
That's the scariest sentence I know
I used to chase the dream
Now I think the dream's chasing me, chasing me, chasing me—
Chasing me—
Chasing me—
