Win or Lose (By the Friends You Choose)

I know you let it go
A long time ago
Along with us and everywhere we'll go
I love the way
You got a grip and stabbed away
At the backs that broke to help you from the start

Was this harder than you expected
Or did you just get too tired
Of riding coat tails and getting caught in lies
So, so, so sorry about keeping you up late
Quitters never win or even place
And you'll never learn from your mistakes

I bet you heard this all
From two cancelled shows
And two hundred twenty-one miles away
Confrontation and
Selfish screams say you will run
The only promise cowards like you can keep

I can't wait to hear how twisted this becomes
When you send it through the loosest lips and bitter friends

I hope the time comes one day
When you can refocus and appreciate
The friends who put up with your lies
And loved you in spite

Is it worth it now
No hard feelings allowed
Is it worth it now
I hope so

Is it worth it now
No hard feelings allowed
Is it worth it now
You better hope so
