I'm Gonna Win - Rob Cantor

My life is a constant entrapment of tunnels

Which tangle and wind and beguile

And regardless of where I may tumble or funnel

I wonder what’s really worthwhile

Sometimes it can seem like a merciless dream

And I’m falling with nothing to hold

Sometimes I get flustered and beaten and blistered

Abandoned outside in the cold

But I’m gonna win, I’m gonna try

I’ll never lose, I’ll never die

You’ve seen me before, you’ll see me again

I’ll never give up, I’ll never give in

Til I’m bloody and bruised

Til I’ve broken my bones

Til I won’t be abused

Til I’m laughing alone

It’s hard to be charming and smart and disarming

It’s hard to pretend you’re the best

It’s hard to fulfill everyone’s expectations

It’s hard to keep up with the rest

But I’m gonna win, I’m gonna try

I’ll never lose, I’ll never die

You’ve seen me before, you’ll see me again

I’ll never give up, I’ll never give in

Til I’m bloody and bruised

Til I’ve broken my bones

Til I won’t be abused

Til I’m laughing alone

How do you feel?

You’ve been concealing your worries from the world

But you can reveal them to me

I wouldn’t know

I go on even though

I’ll be bloody and bruised

I’ll be breaking my bones

I’ll be paying my dues

I’ll be laughing alone
