If I failed to deliver
If the world left you bitter
If waitin and prayin has led to you payin
Of course I will care
If the world stripped you bare
But you're killing your liver with toxins
That help you to
See this whole mess
Receive this hopeless transmission
Are you trying to say that you'd rather decay than believe
Are you willing to cry
At the scene of the crime
Are you able to turn on the tears in the blink of an eye
If you're ready
Tonight if you're steady
We'll help you to see in the ways that will help you to find this whole mess
Receive this hopeless transmission
Are you trying to say that you'd rather decay than believe
And if walking back home
Is the way to my heart
You've taken it over and torn it apart
I've got nothing to lose and a whole lot to gain
I've got a head full of reasons but nothing to say
'Cause it's now or never
It's now or never
It's now or never
Are you willing to dance
For the sake of romance
I'm a terrible dancer but hey let them look
Let them laugh
I'm not listening
For you I'm persisting
But my energy's sinking as you slump to your chair
So I'll throw this whole mess away
And if walking back home
Is the way to my heart
You've taken it over and torn it apart
I've got nothing to lose and a whole lot to gain
Got a head full of reasons but nothing to say
'Cause it's now or never
It's now or never
It's now or never (repeat)
