Lyrics
0:14I've been written off so many times before
0:17I've forgotten what it feels like to succeed anymore
0:20Always on the sidelines waiting in the wings
0:24When the curtain finally calls I'm never on the screen
0:27And I've got the scars to prove I've been there
0:31I've got the marks from when I tried
0:34I've covered miles and miles to get here
0:38Only for you to cast me aside
0:41But I'll still run run like the wind
0:47And I'll still start all over again
0:53I gave it all cause I had to make it
0:57I gave it all cause I had to try
1:01I sacrificed my close connections
1:04For the chance to say I tried
1:08I've never learned to win don't know what it means
1:12I lost myself when we were young I'm fighting just to feel
1:15Always on the edge I just want to make my name
1:19I'd love to show the world what I gave up for the game
1:22And I've got the scars to prove I've been there
1:26I've got the marks from when I tried
1:29I've covered miles and miles to get here
1:32Only for you to cast me aside
1:35But I'll still run run like the wind
1:42And I'll still start all over again
1:48I gave it all cause I had to make it
1:52I gave it all cause I had to try
1:55I sacrificed my close connections
1:59For the chance to say I tried
2:03And I've got the scars to prove I've been there
2:07I've got the marks from when I tried
2:10I've covered miles and miles to get here
2:14Only for you to cast me aside
2:17Oh I've got the scars to prove I've been there
2:21I've got the marks from when I tried
2:24I've covered miles and miles to get here
2:27Only for you to cast me aside
2:30But I'll still run run like the wind
2:37And I'll still start all over again
2:44I gave it all cause I had to make it
2:47I gave it all cause I had to try
2:50I sacrificed my close connections
2:54For the chance to say I tried
2:57But I'll still run run like the wind
3:04And I'll still start all over again
3:11I gave it all cause I had to make it
3:15I gave it all cause I had to try
3:18I sacrificed my close connections
3:21For the chance to say I tried
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 calls 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 here 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 I sacrificed my close connections For the chance to say I tried I've never learned to win 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 here 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 I sacrificed my close connections 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 here Only for you to cast me aside Oh 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 here 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 I sacrificed my close connections 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 I sacrificed my close connections For the chance to say I tried
