Settle For Less Lyrics

Red Vox Settle For Less

[Verse 1]
Late last night, or was it morning?
Outside the rain was pouring
I stumbled out, I hit the ground
It's a hell of a scene but there's no story
Designed in all its glory
To set you up and knock you down

[Chorus]
Just a reflection on my bitterness
Why plant the seed and not do the rest?
Just a distraction from the meaningless
I'd rather bleed than settle for less

[Verse 2]
Was told at the time to just keep going
You'll fly but don't stop rowing
Reached for the moon and hit the ground
Is this a chip upon my shoulder?
As heavy as a boulder
When all the world owes you a crown

[Chorus]
Just a reflection on my emptiness
You don't succeed by chasing success
No reputation is worth all this mess
I'd rather bleed than settle for less
[Instrumental Bridge]

[Chorus]
Just a reflection on my happiness
Only compete with yourself at your best
A separation from the self I possess
Just let it be and settle for less

[Outro]
