Well I have searched high and wide
For certainty in a world outside
Where guarantees are bought and sold
But love is worth much more than gold
So I will make my peace with time
And hold my heart as what is mine
My mistakes do not define me
My mistakes do not define me

At times I've given up on love
Inside, outside and up above
Cause nothing shines when the lights are out
And light is what love is all about
So I will make my peace with mine
And hold my heart until its time
My mistakes do not define me
My mistakes do not define me

No one ever said it would be easy
No one said it would make sense
But we grow up in fairytales believing
That someday we'll be saved with just one kiss

Well I have wished upon a star
And prayed for love to find my heart
But love must start on the inside
For that is where true love resides
So I will make my peace with truth
And hold my heart as living proof
That my mistakes do not define me
My mistakes do not define me

No one ever said it would be easy
No one said you'd always win
But destiny is not something that's waiting
It's there inside you hoping you'll begin

Well I have searched high and wide
For who I am in the world outside
Where who we are is all we have
And few are willing to take a chance
So I will make my peace with truth
And I will open up to you
My mistakes do not define me
My mistakes do not define me

underdog

I keep waiting
For something to change
For something clever to say
For something better than another day 

I keep trying and trying
To open my wings
To only say the right things
To find something that means something

They'll tell you everything it happens for a reason
            But I don't think that I believe them anymore

                So I'm trading in this losing hand
                Come on deal me in again
                Won't you give a kid a fighting chance?
                Oh oh
                I'm willing to take a shot
                I don't care if it's against the odds
                Everybody loves the underdog
                Oh oh

I hear you saying
You want someone to love
But no one's ever good enough
No one ever seems to make the cut 

Well my darling
You gotta loosen the reigns
You gotta loosen the chains
You gotta give your heart to get the same

            They'll tell you that the chance of losing it ain't worth the risk
            I think if you take it you know it is for sure

                And I'm trading in this heart of stone
                It's been broken since the day I was born
                Won't you give a kid a heart of gold?
                Oh oh
                I'm willing to take a shot
                I don't care if it's against the odds
                Everybody loves the underdog

Bridge:  When it's your chance to place that bet
            Will you lay 'em down or go all in
            What if it's the only chance that you get? What then?
            Only you can know what you can take
            How far you can bend before you break
            But everybody knows just what's at stake
            Oh oh oh oh   

             They'll all tell you that'll you win if you just play it safe
             I think safe doesn't sound like winning much to me

(repeat both choruses)

Everybody loves the underdog…
Everybody loves the underdog…
Everybody loves the underdog…
Yeah everybody loves the underdog…
