I'm Still Believing
The Generators Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
IÂ'm lost with a chance still to be found
IÂ'm cold but IÂ'm not dead
This catÂ's got a few lives left
IÂ'm all out of reasons
But IÂ'll still find a good excuse
IÂ'm in the last round now
Nothing left for me to loose
You can mess with my pride
You can say all you like
But IÂ'm notfalling down this time without a fight
Not without a fight
Been around the block
Maybe one too many times
I admit I was wrong
Maybe more than I was right
I struggled so hard
Like so many others
Swinging away towards a better day
For some good to be discovered
You can mess with my pride
You can say all you like
But I wonÂ't be falling down this time without a fight
Not without a fight
IÂ'm still believing
IÂ'll find a meaning
The odds arenÂ't on my side
But the contender has arrived
IÂ'm still believing
Practice what IÂ'm preaching
So you go for yours
And IÂ'll go for mine
My whole lifetime
IÂ've always known what I was up against
But I always knew I could make a break
As this thing came down on stretch
I remain here giving it
Giving it all I got
I might be up against the ropes
But IÂ'm bound to land a shot
IÂ'm still believing
IÂ'll find a meaning
The odds arenÂ't on my side
But the contender has arrived
IÂ'm still believing
Practice what IÂ'm preaching
So you go for yours
And IÂ'll go for mine
