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 consistent 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
