All for nothing, and what do I get to keep?
A name, a face, a memory that burns in my sleep
Tis better to have loved and lost, well, that's not true
I'd cancel the whole thing and skip the pain, wouldn't you?
I gambled things that cannot be replaced
Was all of it a waste?
[Chorus]
We gave it all for this to live
What have we got to show for it?
Now everthing will be destroyed
We're rendered null and void
You've got problems, so do I, so does everyone
Why did ours have to shut us down before we'd begun?
The world at large is not as dumb as you'd like to think
You turn your back, they'll cut your throat before you can blink
Someday our debts all will be repaid
We'll get them back in spades
[Chorus]
I might have to sell my soul but, yeah, I want everything
I want to eat my cake and I'm not afraid of anything
Except losing
[Chorus]
A name, a face, a memory that burns in my sleep
Tis better to have loved and lost, well, that's not true
I'd cancel the whole thing and skip the pain, wouldn't you?
I gambled things that cannot be replaced
Was all of it a waste?
[Chorus]
We gave it all for this to live
What have we got to show for it?
Now everthing will be destroyed
We're rendered null and void
You've got problems, so do I, so does everyone
Why did ours have to shut us down before we'd begun?
The world at large is not as dumb as you'd like to think
You turn your back, they'll cut your throat before you can blink
Someday our debts all will be repaid
We'll get them back in spades
[Chorus]
I might have to sell my soul but, yeah, I want everything
I want to eat my cake and I'm not afraid of anything
Except losing
[Chorus]
