With cuts and bruises, we keep on
Our tattered clothes just seem to whither away
I've always said I promise not to notice when
You look the other way
This is something I can't control
More than just a feeling we hold
Don't turn away,
This is a danger that we willingly embrace
The sound of moving on, signal the alarm
Were moving at a fleeting pace
With cuts and bruises,
We did it all We sing our songs
Like anthems for a lost cause (Anthems For Our Lost Cause)
As long as the feeling stays
We wont have it any other way
"Hey man, whatchu running away from"?
I'll tell you what you wanna hear
Their time's when love isn't enough
We've done this all on our own
We've ran the gauntlet so long
And we still stay strong
We barely made it by the skin of our teeth
With cuts and bruises,
We did it all We sing our songs
Like anthems for a lost cause (Anthems For Our Lost Cause)
As long as the feeling stays
We wont have it any other way
Keep your eyes on the prize
If you dream then you better dream high
I don't know what lies ahead
Without this, I'd be better off dead
I bet you thought we were a lost cause
With cuts and bruises,
We did it all We sing our songs
Like anthems for a lost cause (Anthems For Our Lost Cause)
As long as the feeling stays
We wont have it any other way
We did it all for you,
We sing our songs for you
Here is your anthem
It's not a lost cause
We wont have this any other way!
