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 favors those who ride the storm and make it though 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, when 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
