The Contender

The Contender - Amy MacDonald

Written by：Amy Macdonald/Ben Parker/James Sims

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
