Looking at the faded photographs   Feels like it's been thousand years   Or more   Those were the innocent days   I recall   Life was much simpler than today      Going through the motions   Connecting to the past   Deep down in this heart of mine   I'm still the same I used to be      [Chorus]:   I should know where I've been   Still stand up for things I'm believing in   No matter if I lose   I'll win   I'll always play it from the heart   I remember the things I've seen   Learn how to fall   How to take a hit   Until the final round's bell rings   I'm gonna play it from the heart      I've seen all the ups and downs   Down the line   Learn from mistakes that I've made   I had my share of hard times   More than once   But good times were too hard to find      Born to live day by day   Is that a curse or a bless   I don't know for sure   But one thing stands   Can't change the way I am      [Chorus]:   I should know where I've been   Still stand up for things I'm believing in   No matter if I lose   I'll win   I'll always play it from the heart   I remember the things I've seen   Learn how to fall   How to take a hit   Until the final round's bell rings   I'm gonna play it from the heart      I know that I've been wrong   I guess that I've been blind   But I think I've been right every now and then too   It's all just a game with rules made by me   And I try my best to play to win      [Chorus]:   I should know where I've been   Still stand up for things I'm believing in   No matter if I lose   I'll win   I'll always play it from the heart   I remember the things I've seen   Learn how to fall   How to take a hit   Until the final round's bell rings   I'm gonna play it from the heart
