Denial

Got what it takes to get where you're going
Or, maybe you're just fooling yourself
All your friends are moved on now, they're growing
Maybe you should hang it up on a shelf
Too much concern about what you might leave behind
No pain, no gain, no fame, no infamy
When you look back, the past will consume you
All the things that you might have been

We may never understand. Don't bother trying
Is our fate some kind of plan? There's no denying

Things in your life are always changing
Responsibility starts taking control
Close your eyes cause you let it blind you
Forgot your dreams and lost sight of your goals
Pointing fingers and placing blame
You wear a mask to disguise your shame
Your focus gone, now it fades away
Still got your memories of yesterday

I won't feel bad for you
You made your bed, now you lie in it
Make your mistakes and you learn from them
Time to move on
Oh, c'est la vie

Take a shot to get into the swing of things
But your time's already come and gone
Missed you chance in the game to become a knight
You feel safer just remaining a pawn
You'll never learn how to fight for yourself, my friend
If you don't take some shots to the chin
And, the same applies to the rest of life
Get knocked down and get back up again

We may never understand. Don't bother trying
Is our fate some kind of plan? There's no denying
We may never understand. Don't bother trying
Is our fate some kind of plan? There's no denying
