Contender Songtext
von Forever Came Calling

Half the man I thought I′d be
Double his size and constantly drinking
What when the sick becomes your substance?
You learn control or you learn how to crutch it
A mother and father who cared so much
Southern comfort and a northern touch
What when the sick becomes your substance?
You lost control and you learned how to love it

Contender for everything
From choir boys to thick as thieves
If you don't let me in you won′t learn to believe


I lost it all in a hospital
How did I get so low?
How did I get so low?
Hey mom, I'm coming home

Half the man at 3:10 was sinking
Patching up holes while steadily streaming
Liquid into his bowel and his gut
He lost all hope, that ship never showed up

Contender for everything
From choir boys to thick as thieves
If you don't let me in you won′t learn to believe

I lost it all in a hospital
How did I get so low?
How did I get so low?
Hey mom, I′m coming home


Stop by the bar around 8
Your smile burns my fifth drink
You tell me how much you miss
Those things that I used to be
