Take the heartache and shame
The games, and find who to blame
That’s no way to live, I take it all in

All of the bad ones are where I come from
Defeated, taken pieces, they equal my sum
All of the fights and lessons are what I’ve become
So let go of it all and be just who you are
You’re still here, so that means you won
It all made me, me, that’s important you see

Taped up parts and closing up shop
That’s what love for me always got
That’s no way to live, I take it all in

All of the bad ones are where I come from
Defeated, taken pieces, they equal my sum
All of the fights and lessons are what I’ve become
So let go of it all and be just who you are
You’re still here, so that means you won
It all made me, me, that’s important you see

Take a break, it is okay, keep going anyway
As that’s no way to live, so I take it all in

All of the bad ones are where I come from
Defeated, taken pieces, they equal my sum
All of the fights and lessons are what I’ve become
So let go of it all and be just who you are
You’re still here, so that means you won
It all made me, me, that’s important you see
