[Intro]
(Here in the moment, defeated)
[Verse 1]
That’s how we play the game
Stolen cards in hand
No room for reaching
Don’t understand
You found me just the same
Fractured by your plans
So now we’re bleeding
Afraid to see the end
[Chorus 1]
The minutes wasted
The hours lost
Praying you don’t wanna leave me
The seconds baited
The curses tossed
Saying you don’t wanna need me
Time would wait for anyone else
Night and day move on and we’re left to grieve
Beyond the reasons
We paid the cost

[Chorus 2]
The minutes wasted
The hours lost
Praying you don’t wanna leave me
The seconds baited
The curses tossed
Saying you don’t wanna need me
Time would wait for anyone else
Night and day move on and we’re left to grieve
Beyond the reasons
We paid the cost
Here in the moment, defeated
[Drop 2]
(Defeated)
(Here in the moment, defeated)
(Defeated)
(Here in the moment, defeated)
[Tag]
Time would wait for anyone else
Night and day move on and we’re left to grieve
Beyond the reasons
We paid the cost
Here in the moment, defeated
