Forfeit the game, before somebody takes you out of the frame
Put your name to shame, cover up your face
You can't run the race, the pace is too fast, you just won't last
WonÂ’t last, wonÂ’t last, wonÂ’t last... (echo fade)
You love the way, I look at you
While taking pleasure in the awful things you put me through
You take away if I give in
My life, my pride, is broken
You like to think you're never wrong
(You like to think you're never wrong)
You have to act like you're someone
(You have to act like you're someone)
You want someone to hurt like you
(You want someone to hurt like you)
You wanna share what you've been through
(You live what you've learned)
Learned, learned, learned... (echo fade)
You love the things, I say I'll do
The way I hurt myself again, just to get back at you
You take away, when I give in
My life, my pride, is broken
You like to think you're never wrong
(You like to think you're never wrong)
You have to act like you're someone
(You have to act like you're someone)
You want someone to hurt like you
(You want someone to hurt like you)
You wanna share what you've been through
(You live what you've learned)
Yo, yo
Forfeit the game, before somebody takes you out of the frame
Put your name to shame, cover up your face
You can't run the race, the pace is too fast, you just won't last
Forfeit the game, before somebody takes you out of the frame
Put your name to shame, cover up your face
You can't run the race, the pace is too fast, you just won't last
WonÂ’t last, wonÂ’t last, wonÂ’t last... (echo fade)
You like to think you're never wrong
(You like to think you're never wrong)
You have to act like you're someone
(You have to act like you're someone)
You want someone to hurt like you
(You want someone to hurt like you)
You wanna share what you've been through
You like to think you're never wrong
(You like to think you're never wrong)
You have to act like you're someone
(You have to act like you're someone)
You want someone to hurt like you
(You want someone to hurt like you)
You wanna share what you've been through
(You live what you've learned)
