[Verse 1] I learned to measure every day by what I got done First one through the door last one gone I kept every promise I swallowed every no Turned every little failure into somewhere else to go I wanted the room to remember my name Wanted somebody somewhere to say I became More than the kid who was scared underneath So I worked till the hunger was all I could breathe [Pre-Chorus] One more hour One more mile One more reason to stay a while If I stop I might find out what I've been running from [Chorus] I had something to prove To everyone To no one I kept chasing the view from the top just to find another one Every win only moved the line Every finish became another start I had something to prove I just never knew to whose heart [Verse 2] Got the keys got the numbers got my name on the wall People started calling when they needed it all I learned how to smile when the pressure came down How to look like a king while I quietly drowned And every time someone told me “well done” It lasted a minute then the feeling was gone So I raised every target and tightened the rope Called it ambition when it wasn't hope [Pre-Chorus] More to earn More to lose More excuses not to choose If I stop I might hear the silence underneath [Chorus] I had something to prove To everyone To no one I kept chasing the view from the top just to find another one Every win only moved the line Every finish became another start I had something to prove I just never knew to whose heart [Bridge] I won the fights I picked myself I built the life I thought would help I got the things I said I needed So why the hell do I still feel defeated? What was I proving? Who was keeping score? How much is enough when enough never meant anything before? [Final Chorus] I had something to prove To everyone To no one Spent half my life trying to become somebody worth loving Every win only moved the line Every finish tore another part I had something to prove But maybe all this time I was trying to prove it to myself [Outro] And I still don't know if I believe me.
