Standing in the spotlight it's hard to see the truth
My time had come to trust someone behind my back they knew
I never saw it coming but my world came crashing down
They gamble on your future, play the coldest game in town
What I've lost in a lifetime, mistakes it's made me see
What's here in my heart they can't take that away from me
Beyond all my frustration there's a fire deep inside
It's been there since I started I got nothing left to hide
As I climb the stairway for a piece of higher ground
This time I'm looking straight ahead baby
'Cause it's dangerous looking down
What I've lost in a lifetime, mistakes
What's here in my soul they can't take that away from you
Like a fool I was waiting until you came along
You made a blind man see, your love made all the difference
And nobody can't take that away from me
What I've found in a lifetime, mistakes it's made me see
Here in my heart they can't take that away from me, yeah
They can't take that away from me
Can't take that away
Can't take that away
Can't take that away
