Contender Lyrics by Forever Came Calling

Contender

0

Half the man I thought I’d be, double his size and constantly drinking
What? When your sip becomes your substance?
You learn control or you learn how to crutch it
A mother and father who care so much, southern comfort and her northern touch
What? When your sip 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 lose your belief
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 a man that’s content with sinking
Patching up holes while steadily streaming liquid into his bow and his gut
Has 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 lose your belief
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 Eight, your smile verse my 5th drink
You’ll tell me how much you miss those things that I used to be
