“Standing in My Way” is one of those songs that speaks to a universal experience—the struggle between dreams and obstacles, hope and doubt. It’s a powerful anthem for anyone who’s ever felt like they’re running into roadblocks at every turn, whether in love, life, or simply trying to pursue what matters most. The beauty of this song lies in its raw honesty. You can feel the frustration and the resilience in every line, making it deeply relatable for anyone who’s had to fight for what they believe in.
Musically, it’s the kind of track that starts off slow, building tension with every verse, and then releases it all in a chorus that feels like a breakthrough moment. It’s like standing at the edge of a cliff, facing your fears head-on, and finally deciding to leap. The melody has a haunting, yet uplifting quality that pulls you in, reflecting the emotional highs and lows of facing down obstacles that seem insurmountable.
What makes “Standing in My Way” particularly gripping is its message: perseverance. The lyrics paint a vivid picture of wrestling with self-doubt, external resistance, and the fear of failure—but instead of letting these forces win, it’s about finding that inner strength to keep pushing forward. Each verse is like a chapter in a story that ends not with defeat, but with resolve.
It’s a song that reminds you that sometimes, the biggest thing standing in your way is yourself. But it also assures you that every step forward, no matter how small, is a victory. It’s not just about overcoming—it’s about learning to live in the tension between struggle and success, knowing that every obstacle is shaping you into someone stronger

Lyrics
I’m always there forever, I am
There between what I’m reaching for and
The fingers on my hand
Blocking myself with things like
Words I shouldn’t say
It seems I’m always standing in my way
Like the time I told you a lie
And I became the wall that stood
Between your heart and mine
I apologize but the truth is
The truth don’t ever fade
It seems I’m always standing in my way
My way is the hard way, I guess
Guys like me say no when we mean yes
I’d step aside if I could ’cause
I live for your embrace
But it seems I’m always standing in my way
Why you stand beside me, I don’t know
There’s so many places a girl
Like you could go
I hope you see enough in me
To make you wanna stay
‘Cause it seems I’m always
Standing in my way
My way is the hard way, I guess
Guys like me say no when we mean yes
I’d step aside if I could ’cause
I live for your embrace
But it seems I’m always standing in my way
I’d step aside if I could ’cause
I live for your embrace
But it seems I’m always standing in my way
I’m always there forever, I am
There between what I’m reaching for and
The fingers on my hand
