The Contender Lyrics - Amy Macdonald

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 cos I had to make it 

I gave it all cos 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 cos I had to make it 

I gave it all cos 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

But I'll still run, run like the wind 

And I'll still start all over again

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 cos I had to make it
