Not for Less lyrics

[Verse 1]
I see the road, it's steep and long
The stars I want feel distant, gone
But I won't lie, not to myself
I won’t reach high just to grab what's on the shelf

[Pre-Chorus]
They say, “Take the easy win, take the simple way”
But every time I try, I feel my soul decay

[Chorus]
I won’t trade gold for glitter
Won’t drown my fire in bitter
I’d rather wait, I’d rather fight
Than live a half-lit kind of life
No comfort dressed as bliss
Could ever feel like this
So I won’t settle, I confess—
I’m not the kind who lives for less

[Verse 2]
There’s warmth in things that come with ease
But warmth don’t mean it gives me peace
If it’s not you, if it’s not true
Then what am I even running to?

[Pre-Chorus]
I’d rather break, I’d rather burn
Than fake the joy I didn’t earn

[Chorus]
I won’t trade gold for glitter
Won’t drown my fire in bitter
I’d rather wait, I’d rather fight
Than live a half-lit kind of life
No comfort dressed as bliss
Could ever feel like this
So I won’t settle, I confess—
I’m not the kind who lives for less

[Bridge]
Let the nights be long
Let the doubts be loud
I won’t be swayed
I won’t be proud
For chasing shadows, chasing lies
I'll hold the truth and pay the price

[Final Chorus]
I won’t trade gold for glitter
Won’t fake my heart for shivers
I’ll take the storm, I’ll take the climb
I’ll choose what's real, every time
No comfort dressed as bliss
Could ever feel like this
So I won’t settle, I confess—
I’m not the kind who lives for less
