[Verse 1:]
If peace won't come
Then let it be here when I'm gone
Hold me like a child
And sell me like a diamond for ransom
[Chorus:]
Well, that isn't fair
You get to play the lottery with second chances
So, whether you win today
The rest of us lost every game
Okay, if those are your rules
I'll beat the system
I'm not afraid to play the game
And I won't let things remain the same
[Verse 2:]
Chained or captive, I'll be there
Split the difference
You're no longer here
I'm bound just by the power of you, the rest ado
[Repeat Chorus:]
[Bridge:]
The power of the struggle
The push and the pull
I was already on top but missed the control
Women think it's superior
But listen was played like a part
In a selfish ambition
Now the power of the struggle
The push and the pull
Is inconvenient and even comfortable
But I'm not staying in this place no more
In this way no more and I'll say no more
How long did you think you could silence me?
Well, that isn't fair
You get to play the lottery with second chances
So, whether you win today
The rest of us lost every game
Okay, if those are your rules
[Repeat Chorus:]
