Verse1:
For so long I've been playing the crook
I didn't know just how it would look

To see things from a new perspective
I've been stuck on yesterday
The hardest part is being alone

You grab it all just to say that you own
A little bit more than the next guy down the street
Oh the things that worry me


Chorus:
So hold on to what you love the most

It's gonna be long gone before you have a chance to lose it
So hold on to all that you had hoped for
In the long run it'll carry on and you'll be left with nothing feeling all alone


Verse 2:
So say goodbye to the afternoon

Your friends say you're gone and you're not in the next room
There's a long list of consequences
But it's not a regret until you think it through

Say hello to a loss of control
You're walking downtown but your body is not your own
Victory lasts until the end of the next war

And then you'll settle another score

Bridge:

You won't know what you've done
You won't know what is gone
You won't know what you've lost

You won't know 'til it's over, you won't know
