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 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
