This song was inspired by Vanessa, Wes's wife, who once devoted so much of her life to work that she barely let anyone in. She believed protecting her independence meant keeping others at a distance. ‎ Tony wrote it around a simple contradiction I've always found interesting. Sometimes our emotional needs go unmet, and learning to love ourselves is essential. But loving yourself doesn't mean closing yourself off from everyone else. ‎ Self-love is where happiness begins, but independence can feel strangely empty when there's no one to truly share your life with. ‎ There's a little nod to Miley Cyrus's Flowers and its celebration of being able to stand on your own. But here, I'm more interested in what comes afterward, when the happiness that independence once brought starts to feel increasingly fragile. ‎ And sometimes, the things we most want to tell someone are the very things we can only say inside our heads. ‎ [VERSE] I told you I was born to roam That I could love and still be free I always kept one foot outside Afraid of what you'd ask of me ‎ [CHORUS] No more second guessing No promises to keep No one to lose, no tears to weep I can take myself dancing ‎ [VERSE] You never asked me for my wings You never tried to close the door Now I can sleep on either side Of a bed that feels like yours ‎ [CHORUS] No more second guessing No promises to keep No one to lose, no tears to weep I can take myself dancing ‎ [VERSE] I can remember how I liked it when you never smiled It was in your eyes when I said I couldn't stay I mistook the space you gave me For a reason to walk away ‎ [PRE-CHORUS] I wasn't scared of losing freedom I was scared of needing you ‎ [CHORUS] No more second guessing No promises to keep No one to lose, no tears to weep I can take myself dancing ‎ [OUTRO] No more second guessing I still remember your cotton flowers No one to lose, no tears to weep We were good, we were gold No more second guessing And I threw it all away No one to lose, no tears to weep I wish I could've told you, but I just talk to myself ‎ [CHORUS] No more second guessing No promises to keep No one to lose, no tears to weep I can take myself dancingmore
