Will your high hopes get you there

Goal so far and yet so near

You can't ignore the writing on the wall

Every time you rise you fall

End nowhere in sight at all

Why should you pick it up and try again

Chorus:

Give it up, 'cause you can't win

Let it go while you still can

Gave it all you had, now you're feelin' bad

So you're gone, ready to roam

You come on so strong with that same sad song

Wherever you go

Run along, take your ball and go home

Promised yet another chance

Forbidden just a single glance

So much rides on what you say and do

Discarded truths and famous myths

Tales that life deceives you with

Certain things you always thought you knew

Chorus:

Helpful hands that pull you down

Smaller minds turn you around

Friends in need are never really true

Why should you put trust in this

Bridge above the dark abyss

You never learned you can't make all the rules

Chorus:
