The upper hand
I've walked the line but now it's getting old
The aggravation it leaves me hanging onto self control
All the weight on my shoulders I feel the air getting colder
But I'm not gonna give up now
Is there enough in me to get back up when I'm broken?
Broken down no hope to be found
In this life we all have reasons, now let's play the game

Chorus -
I never wanted it to be this way let's make a turn around
From yesterday let's get back to the days
When we had it figured out
Our lives played like cards in a loaded deck
We always had the upper hand

The upper hand
It's your turn now play the move that's gonna help you win
Thought you won it all? But I'm still standing tall
You can't take from me everything I've ever worked for
I won't let you win think you need to start again
Is there enough in me to get back up when I'm broken?
Broken down no hope to be found
In this life we all have reasons, now let's play the game

We raise the stakes we twist our fate
Always chasing a little fortune
We've gotta learn to let go
