Third Time Lucky - Take What You've Won and Leave lyrics
rate meYou try, you fail, so try again.
it's part of life and you know it.
Take what you've won and be grateful,
For all the stuff you've got.
That look in your eyes is skeptic,
But I can see inside the story.
You know it's what I've got, it's what I've got.
You could have lost it all,
Like I did when I was way too careful.
Looking back I wish I'd stayed with the people I know and trust.
Though if I had, I'm pretty sure that life would be different.
But for the better, and not for the worse.
Hindsight crept up on me,
Took me by surprise.
I didn't expect to be regretting some of the things I did back then.
I've been through a lot too, so you'll get no sympathy from me.
No more hiding from the facts,
We just need to grow up and face them
You tried, you failed, and then you gave up,
it's part of your life now.
Take what you've got and then please leave
Forever and don't come back.
That look in your eyes is skeptic,
But I can see inside the story.
You know it's what I've got, it's what I've got.
don't mess with things until you're sure,
'Cause you might be making it worse.
don't speak until you're certain,
That what you're saying is for the best.
don't do things in your own way,
it's best to stick to the basics.
And never, ever run away from a mess you created all on your own.
Just grow up and face them.
