[Verse 1 ] I used to run with the wind in my hair Now I watch the world spin, but I'm stuck here Used to dance like no one could catch me Now I’m stuck in my own head, where no one can see [Pre-Chorus] Everything's different, I can't pretend, I used to be able, but I can't do it again I'm missing pieces, I'm lost inside Fighting with my body, I can't hide [Chorus] I'm on the sidelines, watching life pass by Wishing I could join in, wishing I could try But my body won’t listen, it’s like a cruel game I'm just here waiting, but things stay the same [Verse 2] I used to make plans, take trips on a whim Now I’m stuck in this wreck and all is dim I see the laughter, I hear the fun, But I’m here alone, can't join in the run [Pre-Chorus] I keep on reaching, but I fall again My dreams feel distant, like they’re just pretend I’m not who I was, but I still hold on I fight through life but the hours are long [Chorus] I'm on the sidelines, watching life pass by, Wishing I could join in, wishing I could try But my body won’t listen, it’s like a cruel game I'm just here waiting, but things stay the same [Bridge] I know I’m still someone, though I feel so small Maybe one day I’ll rise, though it’s hard to stand tall Every step’s a battle, but I’m still breathing Even when it feels like I’m barely living [Chorus] I'm on the sidelines, watching life pass by, Wishing I could join in, wishing I could try But my body won’t listen, it’s like a cruel game I'm just here waiting, but things stay the same [Outro - whispering] I’ll hold on to hope, even when it’s hard to see, On the day I’ll be dead, I’ll again be me.
