In It for Life Lyrics

There's a time when we try To begin what is ending If at first you don't succeed Then we just end up pretending
If the dream isn't real Is the lie worth defending? Close your eyes, cover your ears Shut your mouth
You can act naïve But I know you're not stupid
You'll wake up when I walk out Isn't that the way it plays, the leaver leaves, the stayer stays You wouldn't make a move, so I made mine Isn't it a pity, I wish you were really in it for life I wish that you were in it for life
What you give is what you get And what you got is now next to nothing 'Cause the life that you've accepted Is the one that's least disruptive
Are you aware of the fact That when I pull, there's no pulling back You have half the mind, half the heart Half the will
You can act naïve But I know you're not stupid
You'll wake up when I walk out Isn't that the way it plays, the leaver leaves, the stayer stays You wouldn't make a move, so I made mine Isn't it a pity, I wish you were really in it for life I wish that you were in it for life
Some people talk like they can't hear Some people walk but get nowhere And when I'm done with the run I'm going on I'm sure I'll be your biggest regret You'll never forget
You'll wake up when I walk out Isn't that the way it plays, the leaver leaves, the stayer stays You wouldn't make a move, so I made mine Isn't it a pity, I wish you were really in it for life I wish that you were in it for life
Yeah, you can run but you can't hide 'Cause everything you're running from is locked inside
