The Winner Is...

there's no fantasy
in the world that I live in
oh I'm trying to forget that
my voice in the mic like an echo
you know it matters, you know it matters to me, it's my life

all those cannons that resonate
on TV, on the radio
i listen, i listen, i listen
i want to keep my identity
i give myself hits and time to rise up

CHORUS: one day it will be my turn
"and the winner is"
and tonight the winner is
and tonight the winner is me
I'll be out of breath. "and the winner is"
and tonight the winner is
and tonight the winner is me

I don't create jealousy
not really any cash on me
I have nothing left to wear
oh oh oh my loves aren't in "HERE'S"
not really any awards on my mantel
I know, I know, I know
but I see myself with Johnny Depp on my arm
in front of all the photographers
my best smile
the world on its knees
but I'm not there yet
i'm working on my voice
i give myself hits and time to rise up

CHORUS

I know that happiness
hangs by a thread, thread, thread, that's all
I believe in my star
I'll have the confidence and the gaze of others
even if I have to pay the price, even if I have to pay for all my faults
even if I have to pay for all my faults (x3)

CHORUS (x2)

I know that one day it will be my turn
and the winner is
the winner is me
