The Contender
I've been written off so many times before
I've forgotten what it feels like to succeed anymore
Always on the sidelines waiting in the wings
When the curtain finally falls I'm never on the screen
And I've got the scars to prove I've been there
I've got the marks from when I tried
I've covered miles and miles to get there
Only for you to cast me aside
But I'll still run, run like the wind
And I'll still start all over again
I gave it all 'cause I had to make it
I gave it all 'cause I had to try
Sacrificed my close relations for the chance to say I tried
I've never learned to win I don't know what it means
I lost myself when we were young I'm fighting just to feel
Always on the edge I just want to make my name
I'd love to show the world what I gave up for the game
And I've got the scars to prove I've been there
I've got the marks from when I tried
I've covered miles and miles to get there
Only for you to cast me aside
But I'll still run, run like the wind
And I'll still start all over again
I gave it all 'cause I had to make it
I gave it all 'cause I had to try
Sacrificed my close relations for the chance to say I tried
And I've got the scars to prove I've been there
I've got the marks from when I tried
I've covered miles and miles to get there
Only for you to cast me aside
And I've got the scars to prove I've been there
I've got the marks from when I tried
I've covered miles and miles to get there
Only for you to cast me aside
But I'll still run, run like the wind
And I'll still start all over again
I gave it all 'cause I had to make it
I gave it all 'cause I had to try
Sacrificed my close relations for the chance to say I tried
But I'll still run, run like the wind
And I'll still start all over again
I gave it all 'cause I had to make it
I gave it all 'cause I had to try
Sacrificed my close relations for the chance to say I tried
I've forgotten what it feels like to succeed anymore
Always on the sidelines waiting in the wings
When the curtain finally falls I'm never on the screen
And I've got the scars to prove I've been there
I've got the marks from when I tried
I've covered miles and miles to get there
Only for you to cast me aside
But I'll still run, run like the wind
And I'll still start all over again
I gave it all 'cause I had to make it
I gave it all 'cause I had to try
Sacrificed my close relations for the chance to say I tried
I've never learned to win I don't know what it means
I lost myself when we were young I'm fighting just to feel
Always on the edge I just want to make my name
I'd love to show the world what I gave up for the game
And I've got the scars to prove I've been there
I've got the marks from when I tried
I've covered miles and miles to get there
Only for you to cast me aside
But I'll still run, run like the wind
And I'll still start all over again
I gave it all 'cause I had to make it
I gave it all 'cause I had to try
Sacrificed my close relations for the chance to say I tried
And I've got the scars to prove I've been there
I've got the marks from when I tried
I've covered miles and miles to get there
Only for you to cast me aside
And I've got the scars to prove I've been there
I've got the marks from when I tried
I've covered miles and miles to get there
Only for you to cast me aside
But I'll still run, run like the wind
And I'll still start all over again
I gave it all 'cause I had to make it
I gave it all 'cause I had to try
Sacrificed my close relations for the chance to say I tried
But I'll still run, run like the wind
And I'll still start all over again
I gave it all 'cause I had to make it
I gave it all 'cause I had to try
Sacrificed my close relations for the chance to say I tried
