how that someone, that one person, makes you feel so strong, yet so weak. to be told by others that you're beautiful and young, but feel like you are not seen or given the time by that one person, the one that you want to run to, time and again - only to watch them run away, is crushing. so you keep going, day by day, climbing your mountains, hoping to gain enough strength to hopefully one day be brave enough to look down and fall again, without going into a tailspin.

Lyrics
tailspin
Most of the time I feel like I can take over the world
But when I'm with you I feel like a little girl
All my confidence gone away
So beautiful yet so invincible
How can I be one and the same?
People run to me but I have to run to you
And then watch you run away, run away
Most of the time I think I can't keep living without you
Keep trying to convince myself that I can continue without you
Keep trying to prove I wanna be without you
When I get to the top I'll crash and burn
Tell myself loved and learned
It's the climb that counts so I keep moving
Don't look down, slow and steady
Don't look down, till you're ready
Tailspin
So young but still no time
How can I be one and the same
Keep trying to make it through each day without running to you
One day I'll get there, know I will get there, without you, someway
When I get to the top I'll crash and burn
Tell myself loved and learned
It's the climb that counts so I keep moving
Don't look down, slow and steady
Don't look down, till you're ready
When I get to the top I'll crash and burn
Tell myself loved and learned
It's the climb that counts so I keep moving
Don't look down, slow and steady
Don't look down, till you're ready
To fall again
Most of the time I feel like I can take over the world
