[Verse 1]
They said I’d fall off, I did, then I rose
With holes in my pockets and frost on my clothes
Still I kept moving, broke but I’m bold
Had a bad hand dealt, now my own cards fold
I missed every train when the doors swung wide
Chased every cheap dream with my head held high
They laughed at my timing, I laughed back twice
Now I’m in the room they said wasn’t mine
[Pre-Chorus]
Look at me now
I’m still alive
Counted me out
I survived
Every dead end
Led me here
I was the joke
Now I’m the fear
[Chorus]
Chances blown, I came back strong
Chances blown, I moved along
Chances blown, I took that ring
Now I make the whole place sing
Chances blown, I came back strong
Chances blown, I moved along
Chances blown, I took that ring
Now I make the whole place sing
[Verse 2]
Late-night buses, one shoe split
Got my name wrong, still I didn’t quit
Sleep on the floor, ate a cold-sweat meal
Ran with the wolves, learned what’s real
Too many “almost,” too many lies
Too many doors shut in my face like flies
But I built from scraps and a stubborn grin
Now every missed shot turns to a win
[Pre-Chorus]
Look at me now
I’m still alive
Counted me out
I survived
Every dead end
Led me here
I was the joke
Now I’m the fear
[Chorus]
Chances blown, I came back strong
Chances blown, I moved along
Chances blown, I took that ring
Now I make the whole place sing
Chances blown, I came back strong
Chances blown, I moved along
Chances blown, I took that ring
Now I make the whole place sing
[Bridge]
From the bottom, I learned the sound
Of a heart that still gets up off the ground
If you doubt me, stay and see
I turned my loss to victory
[Chorus]
Chances blown, I came back strong
Chances blown, I moved along
Chances blown, I took that ring
Now I make the whole place sing
Chances blown, I came back strong
Chances blown, I moved along
Chances blown, I took that ring
Now I make the whole place sing
