Lyrics by Aleksandar Kačurov

I’ve worn the medals, paid the cost
I know what winning almost lost
I’ve heard the room pronounce my name
Then watched them leave when failure came

I don’t need every door to open
I don’t need every wound unbroken

I’ve got the strongest heart
Not because it never breaks
But every time it falls apart
It learns the shape it has to take

I’ve got the strongest heart
I can lose and still stand tall
Victory didn’t make me strong
I became strong through it all

Some nights the crown felt like a chain
Some mornings tasted just like blame
But I don’t trade the road I chose
For safer ground nobody knows

I’m not the sum of their decisions
I’m every scar with new precision

I’ve got the strongest heart
Not because it never breaks
But every time it falls apart
It learns the shape it has to take

I’ve got the strongest heart
I can lose and still stand tall
Victory didn’t make me strong
I became strong through it all

Let the record show I stayed
When easier women walked away
I faced the score, I faced the truth
And kept the best of what I’d lose

I’ve got the strongest heart
Every beat belongs to me
I don’t need a perfect ending
To become my victory

I’ve got the strongest heart
Let the triumphs come and go
I’m not fearless, I’m still here
And that is strength enough to know
