It took a lot for me to learn
To not speak in absolutes
Statements that climb ladders
But quickly fall in chutes
Sentences that build you up
Tall enough to fall flat on your face
Beggars become choosers
Quitters become losers
Nobody likes a quitter
Not with that attitude
I will never
I will never say never
I will never say never again

Not with that attitude
I will never
I will never say never
I will never say never again
