Fought & Lost.

Congratulations on your jubilation.
Our hearts are breaking underneath all the applause.
This devastation is of our own making,
But we’ve never tasted this much bitterness before,
And everybody falls,
But some of us are born to fight, and fight, and fight some more,
So, we will see you here,
Same time, same place, next year,
And you may win this battle but you’ll never win the war.
Better to have fought and lost than never fought at all.
Go take a bow,
Your audience is waiting.
We’ll take the shadows since the limelight isn’t ours.
We wanted it so bad.
Gave it all we had,
Oh, but wanting it doesn’t always make it yours.
This time was ours to lose,
But fortune favours those who ride the storm and make it through.
So, we will see you here,
Same time, same place, next year,
And you can take this battle ’cause we’re gonna win the war.
Better to have fought and lost than never fought at all.
So, here on the same ground,
When the tables have turned around.
Oh, and your tears fall as your world is crashing down.
I hope when you see me,
You remember that feeling,
Oh, ’cause we’ve both seen the world from both sides now,
And everybody falls,
And life will tear you down to show you what’s worth fighting for.
Oh, we will see you here,
Same time, same place, next year,
And you may win this battle, but you’ll never win the war.
Better to have fought and lost than never fought at all.
Better to have fought and lost than never fought at all.
