I Will Never Race Again

I Will Never Race Again Verse 1 I used to live for the starting line Heartbeat loud like a warning sign Every step was a chance to win Every loss just pulled me back in You were there in the finish glow Smiling like you already know I’d burn myself just to hear my name Now I don’t even play the game Pre-Chorus I gave it everything I had Every breath, every second flat But somewhere in the blur of it all I forgot who I was at all Chorus I will never race again No more chasing what could’ve been No more running just to feel alive While I slowly lose my mind I crossed lines I can’t defend Called it love, called it a win But if that’s what it takes to stay I will never race again Verse 2 I see the tracks in my sleep at night Neon dreams in a fading light Every face just a passing blur Every cheer just a hollow word You were always just out of reach Close enough that I still believed If I ran just a little more I’d be who you were waiting for Pre-Chorus But the mirror don’t lie to me I was fighting a ghost you see And the finish line disappeared When I needed it most, you weren’t here Chorus I will never race again No more chasing what could’ve been No more running just to feel alive While I slowly lose my mind I crossed lines I can’t defend Called it love, called it a win But if that’s what it takes to stay I will never race again Bridge Let them run, let them fight for gold Let them chase what they’re never told That the prize isn’t worth the fall If it costs you yourself at all I was lightning, I was fire I was everything you desired But I won’t be that version now I’m the silence, I’m walking out Final Chorus (bigger, emotional) I will never race again I’m done breaking just to bend I’m done proving I’m enough To someone who won’t show up I crossed lines I can’t defend And I won’t go there again If the finish line is you— Then I finally choose to lose Outro No more running No more pain I let go… I leave the lane I will never race again.
