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 cant 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!
