가사
(Verse 1)
I'm stepping in the ring, but my knees are weak,
Fighting shadows in my mind, can't seem to speak,
Every move I make, it's like a losing streak,
Dreams shattering, they call me the meek.
Fell down, got up, but it's all the same,
Chasing glory, but I'm losing the game,
Every step forward, I take two steps back,
The weight of the world keeps me under attack.
(Chorus)
I tried to be the best, but I couldn't stand tall,
In this game of life, I lost it all,
They call me a fighter, but the truth, y'all,
Is in this battle, I admit, I fall – I’m defeated, I’m small.
(Verse 2)
I've got scars, man, they run deep,
Memories of battles, the nights I weep,
Every victory short-lived, it fades away,
In the light of day, I'm left in disarray.
I gave it my all, put my heart in the grind,
But the harder I push, the more I'm left behind,
They say winners never quit, but what if I can't win?
Am I doomed to repeat the cycle, begin again?
(Chorus)
I tried to be the best, but I couldn't stand tall,
In this game of life, I lost it all,
They call me a fighter, but the truth, y'all,
Is in this battle, I admit, I fall – I’m defeated, I’m small.
(Bridge)
They tell me to keep going, to fight the good fight,
But what if my spirit's fading in the night?
I wear a mask of strength, but inside I’m frail,
In this endless war, I'm destined to fail.
(Verse 3)
But maybe in defeat, I find who I am,
A soul still worthy, not just a sham,
Though I lose the battles, maybe there's a cause,
In the cracks of my armor, there's no applause.
I'll rise from the ashes, maybe scarred and torn,
But every loss I've faced, it's a lesson born,
I may be defeated, but I'll stand again,
In the shadow of defeat, I'll find my zen.
(Chorus)
I tried to be the best, but I couldn't stand tall,
In this game of life, I lost it all,
They call me a fighter, but the truth, y'all,
Is in this battle, I admit, I fall – I’m defeated, I’m small.
(Outro)
So here's my truth, raw and exposed,
In the face of defeat, I’m still composed,
I may not be the hero of the story you see,
But in my own defeat, I set myself free.
