[Intro]

I am an accident in a game of chance

So I'll use my numbered days any way I can

I realize I was never meant to be

I am owed nothing



[Verse 1]

I have spent too much time feeling sorry for myself

Playing victim, thinking of nobody else

Giving nothing, but expecting something in return

Always running from the lessons I'm supposed to learn



[Chorus]

I learned the hard way

It's just here for a second, then it all goes back

I'm missing something

The hope that we carry is all we have

I won't live in fear

That at any moment it can all just disappear

I learned the hard way

We're just here for a second, then we all go back



[Post-Chorus]

I am owed nothing



[Verse 2]

Every second of our lives is on borrowed time

So use it now, 'cause you won't get a second try

Everything you've ever loved won't last

And anything that we use is paid back



[Chorus]

I learned the hard way

It's just here for a second, then it all goes back

I'm missing something

The hope that we carry is all we have

I won't live in fear

That at any moment it can all just disappear

I learned the hard way

We're just here for a second, then we all go back



[Bridge/Breakdown]

In the end what we refuse to let go all becomes nothing

Move

What we refuse to let go all becomes nothing

What we refuse to let go all becomes nothing



[Pre-Chorus]

It's time we realized we were never meant to be

We are owed nothing



[Chorus]

I learned the hard way

It's just here for a second, then it all goes back

I'm missing something

The hope that we carry is all we have

I won't live in fear

That at any moment it can all just disappear

I learned the hard way

We're just here for a second, then we all go back
