  • It's been seven long years fighting for your attention
    Manipulated by fear and misdirection
    Wrapped in your ugly chains, swore you'd rise me to heaven
    Brought me nothing but pain, was that your intention?

    Damn frustrating that you think I could never make it
    Look who's standing right in front of you
    Yes, it's me
    What you doing?
    Did you think you would see me ruin?
    After all the shit that I've been through

    I'm a soul survivor, I made it through the fire
    I started with nothing, I've got nothing to lose
    I'm a soul survivor, I made it through the fire
    I started with nothing, I've got nothing to lose

    Gonna see your mistake, get it out in the open
    And if you wanna play, let's get this rolling

    Damn frustrating that you think I could never make it
    Look who's standing right in front of you
    Yes, it's me
    What you doing?
    Did you think you would see me ruin?
    After all the shit that I've been through

    I'm a soul survivor, I made it through the fire
    I started with nothing, I've got nothing to lose
    I'm a soul survivor, I made it through the fire
    I started with nothing, I've got nothing to lose

    Damn frustrating that you think I could never make it
    Look who's standing right in front of you

    'Cause I'm a soul survivor, I made it through the fire
    I started with nothing, I've got nothing to lose
    'Cause I'm a soul survivor, I made it through the fire
    I started with nothing, I've got nothing to lose Writer/s: Georgia Ku Overton, Mikkel Storleer Eriksen, Rita Ora, Simon Wilcox, Tor Erik Hermansen
