Congratulations on your jubilation

Our hearts are breaking underneath all the applause

This devastation is of our own makingBut we′ve never tasted this much bitterness before

And everybody falls

But some of us are born to fight, and fight, and fight some more

So we will see you here

Same time, same place next year

And you may win this battle

But you'll never win the war

Better to have fought and lost than never fought at all

Go take a bow, your audience is waiting

We′ll take the shadows since the limelight isn't ours

We wanted it so bad, gave it all we had

Oh, but wanting it doesn't always make it yours

This time was ours to lose

But fortune favors those who ride the storm and make it though

So we will see you here

Same time, same place next year

And you can take this battle

′Cause we′re gonna win the war

Better to have fought and lost than never fought at all

So here on the same ground when the tables have turned around

Oh, when your tears fall as your world is crashing down

I hope when you see me, you remember that feeling

Oh, 'cause we′ve both seen the world from both sides now

And everybody falls

And life will tear you down to show you what's worth fighting for

Oh, we will see you here

Same time, same place next year

And you may win this battle

But you′ll never win the war

Better to have fought and lost than never fought at all

Better to have fought and lost than never fought at all
