  • Congratulations on your jubilation
    Our hearts are breaking underneath all the applause
    This devastation is of our own making
    But we've never tasted this much bitterness before

    And everybody falls
    But some of us are born to fight, and fight, and fight some more

    So, we will see you here
    Same time, same place, next year
    And you may win this battle but you'll never win the war
    Better to have fought and lost than never fought at all

    Go take a bow
    Your audience is waiting
    We'll take the shadows since the limelight isn't ours
    We wanted it so bad
    Gave it all we had
    Oh, but wanting it doesn't always make it yours

    This time was ours to lose
    But fortune favors those who ride the storm and make it through

    So, we will see you here
    Same time, same place, next year
    And you can take this battle 'cause we're gonna win the war
    Better to have fought and lost than never fought at all

    So, here on the same ground
    When the tables have turned around
    Oh, and your tears fall as your world is crashing down
    I hope when you see me
    You remember that feeling
    Oh, 'cause we've both seen the world from both sides now

    And everybody falls
    And life will tear you down to show you what's worth fighting for

    Oh, we will see you here
    Same time, same place, next year
    And you may win this battle but you'll never win the war
    Better to have fought and lost than never fought at all

    Better to have fought and lost than never fought at all Writer/s: Jamie Alexander Hartman, Sam Ryder, Tom Howe
