[Verse] Still young enough to chase the sun, Still got a thousand things undone. There's fire somewhere beneath my skin, A life I feel, but can't get in. One day I'm standing ten feet tall, The next I'm leaning on the wall. My muscles quit without a sound, And pain keeps dragging my feet to the ground. [Pre-Chorus] No special warnings, no clear reasons, Just another promise passing by. I tell myself it's just a rough spell, don't question why [Chorus] Betrayed by my body, let down by my bones, A stranger is living where I used to feel home. I'm full of spirit, got miles left to run, Yet my body keeps stealing the years I haven't won. Betrayed by my body. I never signed up for this slow-motion fall, I'm here. I'm fighting. I'm feeling all. Oh-oh, I feel the fire, Oh-oh, but the wires expire. Oh-oh, I'm more than somebody's casualty, Betrayed... Betrayed by my body. [Verse] The invitations fade away, Some friends forget, some drift apart. The ones who swore they'd always stay Find better things to do each day. But silence has a way of showing Who's beside me when the lights stop glowing. Fewer faces, fewer lies, A sharper truth behind my eyes. [Pre-Chorus] The circle shrinks, my vision clears, I learn who's real when no one cheers. Solitude removes the veil. [Chorus] Betrayed by my body, robbed of the life I planned, I've got dreams in my pockets that slip right through my hands. The world keeps moving forward while I'm bargaining with pain, And every victory comes with something left to gain. Betrayed by my body But I see beyond the noise now; I know what matters most, Sometimes losing almost everything reveals what can't be lost. Oh-oh, let the whole world spin, Oh-oh, there's still a pulse within. Oh-oh, I'm not done with anybody, Betrayed... Betrayed by my body [Verse] Some mornings taste like giving in, No fight left anywhere within. I stare at all the things I can't And hate the life I never planned. I want to throw the whole thing down, Turn off my voice, just leave this town. Then some ridiculous little thing Makes me laugh until my ribs both sting. And there it is, a crack of light, A stupid joke, a reason to fight. Not every day deserves a song, But no dark day lasts for long. [Bridge] Strength is not the way I used to crush the world each day. Maybe courage isn't standing tall, It's just not quitting when I fall. I've lost the map, I've changed the view, I've had to build a life that's new. I didn't choose this hand of cards, But I decide how I play, whether soft or hard. [Pre-Chorus] So let the bad moments have their say, I'll meet tomorrow anyway. There's a hell-raiser left in me. [Final-Chorus] Betrayed by my body, but not by my soul, I'll make a new life out of pieces I don't control. I may move a bit slower, I may hurt along the way, But there's more to being alive than what my body lets me play. Let the false friends disappear, let the real ones stand their ground, Let me laugh at my disasters when it all comes tumbling down. Betrayed by my body, I won't pretend I'm fearless, I won't call this journey fair, But as long as there's a spark in me, I'll meet this life right here. Oh-oh, breathing and burning, Oh-oh, bending, not turning. Oh-oh, there's more to me than anybody can see, Betrayed... Betrayed by my body. [Outro] I didn't ask for this road, Didn't choose this weight to hold. But as long as there's a joke I haven't told, I feel a little warmth against the cold. Oh-oh, here... Still here... Betrayed... Betrayed by my body.
