They love you when the lines get blurred
Our hearts become the source
As we push through all of these feelings
Failure always disappoints

Oh, it's nights like these where it's all in my dreams
How long should I pay for my mistakes?
These apologies fall on deaf ears
How in the hell did I get here?
I'll claim the role I was born to play

How many times should I repent?
How many apologies are needed?
I was obviously defeated
Broken and beaten, they had me focused on leavin'
I wore my heart on my sleeve
The whole world saw me bleedin', uh
I seen it all, I've been there and I've done that
Counted me out, but never counted on my comeback
Now I see the snakes and all the rats up in the mouse traps
This gonna be the soundtrack for anyone who bounced back
I want that throne, go and get that crown passed

Oh, it's nights like these where it's all in my dreams
How long should I pay for my mistakes?
These apologies fall on deaf ears
How in the hell did I get here?
I'll claim the role I was born to play

They left me stranded here, for everything is gone
I saw them for who they truly are
Still I rise, still I stand, so put the crown in my hand

Still I rise, still I stand, so put the crown in my hand (In my hand)
Still I rise, still I stand, so put the crown in my hand

They left me stranded here, for everything is gone
I saw them for who they truly are
Still I rise, still I stand, so put the crown in my hand
