why so down in and out
hanging your head so low
starring at the leaves that fall
failing to see it all
take a breath and smell the air
lose yourself, take a dare
why return to false compare
when you're no longer in mid air
dream pretty baby roll it all by
comes the time we take a dive
so these words are just written down
without you, they have no sound
no meanings there for you to take
lose to win, life's not a game
lose to win, I'm good at that
all and all, we'll win the match
lift your chin, smile and say
I know the mistakes I've made
I know the mistakes I've made
I've made
