Lyrics

[00:27.460] how long i have wanted
[00:33.540] this dream to come true
[00:39.760] and as it approaches
[00:45.980] i can't believe i'm through
[00:52.170] i've tried,
[00:54.520] oh, how i've tried
[00:56.960] for a life, yes a life
[00:59.830] i thought i knew
[01:02.880] oh it's the price we gotta pay
[01:05.920] and all the games we gotta play
[01:08.980] makes me wonder if it's worth it to carry on
[01:15.130] 'cause it's a game we gotta lose,
[01:18.160] though it's a life we gotta choose
[01:21.240] and the price is our own life until it's done
[01:29.170] time seems to have frozen,
[01:35.260] but the mind can be fooled
[01:41.500] as the days pass i discover
[01:47.710] destiny just can't be ruled
[01:53.980] hard times,
[01:56.390] oh hard times,
[01:58.840] for a life, yes a life
[02:01.700] i thought i knew
[02:04.700] oh it's the price we gotta pay
[02:07.670] and all the games we gotta play
[02:10.900] makes me wonder if it's worth it to carry on
[02:16.990] 'cause it's a game we gotta lose,
[02:20.090] though it's a life we gotta choose
[02:23.100] and the price is our own life until it's done
[02:54.510] oh it's the price we gotta pay
[02:57.490] and all the games we gotta play
[03:00.560] makes me wonder if it's worth it to carry on
[03:06.740] 'cause it's a game we gotta lose,
[03:09.880] though it's a life we gotta choose
[03:12.930] and the price is our own life until it's done
[03:19.280] oh it's the price we gotta pay
[03:22.150] and all the games we gotta play
[03:25.250] makes me wonder if it's worth it to carry on
[03:31.320] 'cause it's a game we gotta lose,
[03:34.410] though it's a life we gotta choose
[03:37.360] and the price is our own life until it's done
