We have gained, and yet we lost so much
But we carry on day in day out
Hope to build a better life
Fed up with this consistant fight
But we still march on and on
Rushing in where angels fear to tread
Constantly hanging on by a thread
But that to us is how it goes
I can't afford to lose anymore
You can't ignore when your feelings hit the floor
But that's the way life goes

This is a life we choose to live
Never gonna change for anyone
Take control and never run
This is a life we choose to live

What don't kill us makes us stronger
It's a slow death and it lasts much longer
But that don't stop us anymore
Sticks and stones may break my bones
And if you ever try it'll throw you off your throne
But that's the way life goes

We have gained and yet we lost so much
But that don't stop us anymore
