The Anthem of a Regretful Life (to be renamed)

Verse
I've got a little bit of pain.
I've got a little bit of pride.
I always treat it just the same.
Life never hurt me with goodbye.
I've gotta hold on to my dreams.
I've never asked the reasons why.
The ins and outs and in betweens
They always seem to pass me by.

Hook
Well if life's a game honey
I am a loser
But it's just so great that it's real.
Because I'm winning everything I don't wanna.
It's just not fine with me

Verse
She's got me wishing on the stars
That some day I would have my own.
As we're forgetting who we are
She dances lonely on our souls.
This girl will never be a friend
Cuz she's too busy selling lies
That somehow we will never end.
We slave for her with all our lives

Hook
And if life's the truth then
Call me a liar
But it's just too wrong to be right.
It's going everywhere I don't wanna.
There is no truth in the light
There is no truth in the light!!!!

Bridge (2x)
Hold me up! Hold me up!
I'm ready to fall!
Keep me up! Keep me up!
Cuz I want it all!
Save me from! Save me from the death as it calls!
We're underneath!
We've got nothing to live for!

Verse
And time she passes over me
Just like the stars I once held close.
She never stops. She never leaves.
But where she goes, nobody knows.
If my grey hair could play a tune
Then it would sing of struggles dear!
I've got no footsteps on the moon.
I've barely walked too far down here.
