Victorious (Soundtrack Version)
[Verse 1: John Cooper]
I hear 'em talk to me
But they're not listenin'
Their words are kerosene
They don't know who I am
They'd never understand
What it's like to be me
[Refrain 1: John Cooper]
I don't wanna be here (Be here, be here, be here)
So stuck inside
Tell me, how long have I been here? (Been here, been here, been here)
I'm losin' track of time
[Pre-Chorus: Jen Ledger]
In all this loneliness, in all this emptiness
Been stuck inside this room like a prison sentence
I'm not gonna stay, tell me there's a way
[Chorus: John Cooper & Jen Ledger]
High above it all
Victorious, victorious
Far too long I've crawled
In hopelessness, I'm over this
Don't give up on me (Don't give up on me)
Tell me you believe (Tell me you believe)
I can't face it all
Victorious, victorious
[Post-Chorus: John Cooper]
O-oh o-oh o-oh oh
O-oh o-oh o-oh oh
[Verse 2: John Cooper]
Can't change this overnight
Though Heaven knows I tried
Here I go again
I need a Savior now
Someone to break me out
Who's been the place I've been
[Refrain 2: John Cooper]
Don't wanna be forgotten (—gotten, —gotten, —gotten)
When I'm dead and gone
I just wanna be the one who (One who, one who, one who)
Got up and came back strong
[Chorus: John Cooper & Jen Ledger]
High above it all (It all)
Victorious, victorious
Far too long I've crawled (Far too long)
In hopelessness, I'm over this
Don't give up on me (Don't give up on me)
Tell me you believe (Tell me you believe)
I can't face it all
Victorious, victorious
[Post-Chorus: John Cooper]
O-oh o-oh o-oh oh
O-oh o-oh o-oh oh
[Bridge: John Cooper]
Help me 'cause I'm fallin'
When I can't sleep but I'm holding on
Can't face this night alone
[Pre-Chorus: Jen Ledger]
In all this loneliness, in all this emptiness
Been stuck inside this room like a prison sentence
I'm not gonna stay, tell me there's a way
[Chorus: John Cooper & Jen Ledger]
High above it all (It all)
Victorious, victorious
Far too long I've crawled (Far too long)
In hopelessness, I'm over this
Don't give up on me (Don't give up on me)
Tell me you believe (Tell me you believe)
I can't face it all (Face it all)
Victorious, victorious
[Post-Chorus: John Cooper]
O-oh o-oh o-oh oh
O-oh o-oh o-oh oh
O-oh o-oh o-oh oh
O-oh o-oh o-oh oh
