The Contender Testo

I could❝ve been a contender
I could❝ve been almost anything
I could❝ve been a contender
I could❝ve been almost anything
If not for you, if not for you
If not for you, if not for you
If not for you
Contender
Contender
And all the falls I turned them down
Everything turned on a hell of a pen
And like a shell that's still intact
It's inner strength no longer there
A child❝s toy is thrown away
Too broken to repair
And now and then I wonder why
That when luck came it past be by
As if some force tied me down
I'd marked the pegs and staked the ground
I❝ll come back strong I promise you
Though some of me has changed
My souls intact the rest of me
It❝s more than rearranged
It❝s true
It❝s true
It❝s true
Contender
Contender
And all the falls I turned them down
And for what?
I could❝ve been a contender
I could❝ve been almost anything
I could❝ve been a contender
I could❝ve been almost anything
It❝s not like we❝re equal
It❝s not like we❝re equal
It❝s not like we❝re equal
It❝s not like we❝re equal
It❝s not for you
Contender
Contender
And all the lies I turned them down
And all the lies I turned them down
