Sara Bareilles - If I Dare lyrics

If I dare to ask it
Then I dare it to be true
If I dare to risk it
Then I know that I'm willing to
If I dare to want this
To want more than I have
Then I dare to believe I'll
Have it in the end

You climbed the mountain
Sent pictures of the view
And still can't believe when
I started climbing, too
You haven't heard that I'm not afraid to fall
That I'm not deterred yet until
I tell them all

I am holding out for more
Than what I have now i'm holding out

I don't want your pity
I won't use your little scraps
I don't build my cities with
What could get taken back
I don't need permission to rise
Up when it hurts
You don't have to listen, but you'll hear me
Mark my words

I am holding out for more
Than what I have now i'm holding out

When the room gets dark, and I am quiet
There's a voice that's soft
Like someone's silhouette
Saying, "Don't let me go yet"

I am holding out i am holding out for more
Than what I have now i'm holding out

If I dare to ask it
Then I dare it to be true
(Believe me, I will be)
If I dare to risk it
Then I know that I'm willing to
If I dare to want this
To want more than i have
(Believe me, I will be)
Then I dare to believe I'll
Have it in the end
