lyrics

The only way to lose it
The only way to lose is by power
(There’s no use)

Every single day
Every single day will scratch you up

It’s a never ending story of failure and distress
It will confiscate your illusion of powerment

It takes a lot to get in
It takes a lot to get in
It takes a lot to get in
It only makes you better

The only way you get it
The only way you get it
The only way you get it
It really doesn't matter

It’s okay to lose it
It’s okay to lose your power

I can help you up
Let me help you get unstuck

I can’t prevent you from crashing down again
But don’t, yeah don’t , no don’t lose confidence
