Life has filled you with despair
And taught you not to care about tomorrow
And life has led you to believe
There's nothing up your sleeve apart from sorrow
But it's not what you've got, it's how you lose it
And it's not where you've been, it's where you've gone
And it's not what you want, but how you choose it
That's how a hard earned love is won
Life has caught you on the wrong day
Rubbed you up the wrong way, dragged you under
And life has torn you from the bright lights
Stolen all your fight and sense of wonder
But it's not what you've got, it's how you lose it
And it's not where you've been, it's where you've gone
And it's not what you want, but how you choose it
That's how a hard earned love is won
And though these hard times bit you on the ass
These times will never last, these times were made to pass
And when those good days roll around the bend
They'll hold you like a friend, they'll find you in the
end
I never told you what I meant to say
I never told you, does it matter anyway?
