Lyrics
Skill and Will
Wins teach the skill. Losses teach the will.
V1
I started out with a borrowed scheme
Cheap guitar and a busted dream
First loud cheer felt like destiny
Like the world had a place for me
V2
Then came nights where the rooms were thin
Three drunk guys and a tired grin
Songs fell flat where the hope should be
And the doubt took a swing at me
Pre1
If the road gets rough and the crowd won't stay
Do you quit the song or learn to play
Chorus
Every win built the skill in me
Every loss built the will in me
Success showed how it should be
Failure proved what I could be
That's how the hard days built the real me
V3
First small break on a summer stage
Cheap motel and a working wage
Hands found chords like a memory
Like the work finally set me free
V4
Then a year crashed down like a broken plane
Bad reviews and a rusted van
Every mile asking quietly
Was the dream just fooling me
V5
Some nights rage was the only fuel
Some nights pride was the bigger fool
But the fight kept whispering patiently
You're not done yet. Just wait and see
Pre2
When the world says stop and the road says bend
Do you drop the wheel or drive again
Chorus
Every win built the skill in me
Every loss built the will in me
Success showed how it should be
Failure proved what I could be
That's how the hard days built the real me
V6
Years rolled past like a runaway train
Calloused hands and a steady gain
Every scar wrote a recipe
For the fire still left in me
V7
Young kid asked how you win this game
I laughed soft cause I knew the game
Said the truth most folks never see
Is the loss is the teacher, see
V8
Cause the wins are sweet but they pass too fast
And they rarely teach what lasts
But the nights that bruise your dignity
Forge the spine that sets you free
Pre3
When failure knocks like an unpaid bill
Do you curse the night or build the will
Chorus
Every win built the skill in me
Every loss built the will in me
Success showed how it should be
Failure proved what I could be
That's how the hard days built the real me
V9
Now the rooms are full and the lights run hot
Funny how far the road has got
But the truth stays simple as it can be
It was losing that carried me
V10
The wins just polished the craft I play
But the losses carved the clay
Made a stubborn durability
That the storms could never break in me
V11
Every fall was a hidden hand
Teaching things I could not plan
Building quiet ferocity
In the bones underneath of me
Pre4
When the cheers grow faint and the luck runs still
Do you chase the fame or trust the will
Chorus
Every win built the skill in me
Every loss built the will in me
Success showed how it should be
Failure proved what I could be
That's how the hard days built the real me
V12
Looking back through the miles I've crossed
Every victory had a cost
And the bill read plain as it ought to be
You must lose to learn to be
V13
All the falls that embarrassed me
Were the bricks of identity
Every crack in the symmetry
Made the fighter I came to be
V14
If you're standing where I began
Empty room and a shaking hand
Hear the truth that carried me
The fall is where you're meant to be
Pre5
When the world says no and the night gets still
Do you quit the fight or build the will
Chorus
Every win built the skill in me
Every loss built the will in me
Success showed how it should be
Failure proved what I could be
That's how the hard days built the real me
Bridge
The crowd sees glory in the light
They never see the losing nights
The thousand times you tried and fell
Before the story learned to tell
The wins are loud. The losses whisper
But the whisper is what builds you stronger
Outro
So raise a glass to the nights you fell
They're the ones that teach you well
Cause every scar is a memory
Of the will that carried me
Every win built the skill in me
Every loss built the will in me
And if tomorrow humbles me
That's just the road rebuilding me
