| When you’re far away in an empty space
|
| And you’ve given your all and run the race
|
| When your hope is strong but begins to fade
|
| Don’t lose your faith, pieces fall into place (place, place, place)
|
| When you shoot for the moon (moon) but land in the stars (stars)
|
| You’re bruised from all (all) your battle scars (scars)
|
| Yeah, life is like (like) a game of cards (cards)
|
| Do the best with what you’re dealt and do it well
|
| School of hard knocks
|
| Hear it tick-tock
|
| Don’t be afraid
|
| We’re living in a paradox
|
| When you’re scared inside but you don’t know why
|
| When you’re filled with love but don’t live a lie
|
| And can barely breathe, keeping track of time
|
| Just to know your worth, know your worth, know you’ll be fine
|
| When you hold on tight and you can’t find the flow
|
| When you think too deep to let it show
|
| You afraid of your own shadow
|
| Gotta learn, gotta learn to let it go
|
| School of hard knocks
|
| Hear it tick-tock
|
| Breathe, just relax
|
| We’re living in a paradox
|
| (We're living in a motherfucking paradox)
|
| Paradox, yeah, living in a paradox, yeah
|
| In a box, yeah, living in a paradox, yeah
|
| In a box, yeah, living in a paradox, yeah
|
| Paradox, yeah, living in a paradox, yeah
|
| Mmh-hm, yeah
|
| Mmh-hm, yeah
|
| Yeah
|
| Uh-uh |
