The Victor

from Under City Lights by John Nels

/

lyrics

Why do I bother- writing this song for you
Why should I cover- thoughts that I deem true
If you feel- it's too honest to share aloud
If you feel- those moments were lost in sound
Then I guess I'll reconsider

But why when I could be- off forgetting you
But why when I should be- the wiser of the two of us
...As if it really mattered now
I know that I will be- I know that I will be the victor

Succeed with my inner battle- a little less room for hate
Proceed with the matter- just for my own sake
Well I have found- at this stage in time
I used to remind you- of what we've been through

Respect me, don't contest me
Regret me, but don't forget me


But why when I could be- off forgetting you
But why when I should be- the wiser of the two of us
...As if it really mattered now
I know that I will be- I know that I will be the victor
