Hamstring Season

[Verse 1]
Pulled my hamstring on the turn
Right when I needed to burn
Last part of the season, gone
Watch me sit there holding on

Everybody split uphill
Same dream, same room, same thrill
My phone lights up with the news
I smile, but I feel the bruise

[Pre-Chorus]
And I keep asking why
Why they moved on and I froze
I heard the teacher say
But I already know

[Chorus]
Hamstring season, I stayed behind
Hamstring season, they left me climb
I think it’s cause of that
I think it’s cause of that
Hamstring season, I bit my tongue
Watched my friends go where I belonged
I think it’s cause of that
I think it’s cause of that

[Verse 2]
New level, new rooms, new names
Same old ache, same old blame
I try to act like I’m okay
But it hits me every day

When they laugh, I laugh too
When they shine, I clap for you
Still I count what I lost
Like a lesson with a cost

[Pre-Chorus]
And I keep asking why
Why the door shut in my face
Maybe I missed my shot
Maybe it was the race

[Chorus]
Hamstring season, I stayed behind
Hamstring season, they left me climb
I think it’s cause of that
I think it’s cause of that
Hamstring season, I bit my tongue
Watched my friends go where I belonged
I think it’s cause of that
I think it’s cause of that

[Bridge]
Maybe I’m not done
Maybe this is the bend
Maybe pain is just
A door that doesn’t end
I’m still in the game
Even when I limp
I’m still mine to keep
I’m still what I am

[Chorus]
Hamstring season, I stayed behind
Hamstring season, they left me climb
I think it’s cause of that
I think it’s cause of that
Hamstring season, I’m not erased
I learned the shape of losing pace
I think it’s cause of that
I think it’s cause of that
