Verse 1) It isn’t easy, but I’m not the first to do it Lose everything and find a way forward through it It’s not been easy, it’s been damn hard When you’ve been dealt with shitty cards But I’m shuffling the deck and getting things better yet Got a good head on my shoulders and I’m far from dead Never bet against me, because it’s a bet that you will lose When I get my bite back, I’m a hard man to move (Chorus) I'm starting again, a fire in my soul Fighting for the pieces that will make me whole The ashes of the past are fading in the rearview mirror My path is getting clearer, yeah, it's getting so much clearer I'm putting one foot forward, then the other one again This is where the story ends, and the new one can begin (Verse 2) The echo of the failure, the shadow of the doubt Tried to build a prison I could never get out of But every single brick they used to try and wall me in Is just a stepping stone for where I'm about to begin I carry all the lessons, wear the scars with pride They show the world the battles I have weathered deep inside So let them watch me rising, let them stare and let them see The strength that was there all along, buried inside of me (Chorus) I'm starting again, a fire in my soul Fighting for the pieces that will make me whole The ashes of the past are fading in the rearview mirror My path is getting clearer, yeah, it's getting so much clearer I'm putting one foot forward, then the other one again This is where the story ends, and the new one can begin (Verse 3) I tore the labels off that they all tried to make me wear Burned the expectations, scattered them into the air This isn't a performance, I've got nothing left to prove Just the steady, solid rhythm of the way my own feet move I'm the author of this chapter, I'm the one who holds the pen And I'm writing 'bout a fighter who gets up and fights again. (Bridge) I'm not looking for forgiveness or a hand to hold me tight Just the chance to prove them wrong under the morning light The past is just a ghost town, and I'm not living there I'm breathing in the future, breathing in the open air (Chorus) Yeah, I'm starting again, with a fire in my soul Fighting for the pieces that will make me whole The ashes of the past are fading in the rearview mirror My path is getting clearer, yeah, it's getting so much clearer I'm putting one foot forward, then the other one again This is where the story ends, and the new one can begin (Outro) A hard man to move... Yeah, I'm a hard man to move... Never bet against me... Watch me start again
