Balancing Game

Lyrics From Demo [Chorus] You can't have glory without the pain You can't have freedom without the chains It's a fragile existence, a delicate system This life is a balancing game [Verse 1] I thought I could tip the scales, cheat the game Have the sun without the rain Take your love and not exchange my heart for yours I guess that it's me to blame [Pre-Chorus] So, this is what I've found From the bridges I've burned down That it all comes back around Now I know [Chorus] You can't have glory without the pain You can't have freedom without the chains It's a fragile existence, a delicate system This life is a balancing game [Verse 2] So, then I called you up to make amends Said, "Take me back", and you said, "Yes" But now I know just how it ends You played the game like me, it was all pretend [Pre-Chorus] So, this is what I've learned You can't take and not return Because, one day, you'll get burned And now I know [Chorus] You can't have glory without the pain You can't have freedom without the chains It's a fragile existence, a delicate system This life is a balancing game
