Make or Break

Has your heart ever skipped a beat?
Have you ever had to face hardships?
Did you ever have to [bad word] 
Your fears and make sacrifices?
Who we are and what we want to be,
Is nothing without the heart to see,
That where we're going is our own destiny,
Not another's life that was chosen for me
We keep on fighting to save ourselves,
But keep forgetting everyone else
I've seen the view from the bottom
There was a time when I let myself sink
Dying to be saved by someone,
Instead of living to the best of my ability
This world is what you make it
This life is what you make it
The choice is up to you,
Whether you love or hate it
This world is what you make it
This life is what you make it
The choice is up to you,
Whether you make or break it
I'll live my life for me
And we're still fighting,
Slowly gaining ground
Choosing our own battles
By making our own sound
