[Verse 1] I woke up with the weight Of a name I had to wear One hand on the wheel One foot out of the air I kept the receipt From every close call burn Learned the hard way fast You pay before you learn [Pre-Chorus] I still hear the door When I almost walked through I still taste the salt From the nights I outgrew If I’m gonna fall I’m falling on my terms [Chorus] I make my choices For better or for worst For better or for worst That’s the way I move first Call it a gamble Call it what you want I make my choices For better or for worst [Verse 2] I kept my old jeans With the tear at the knee Like a map of the road That got the best of me Some people pray for luck Some people wait to be saved I built mine from the ash And the mess that I made [Pre-Chorus] I still hear the door When I almost walked through I still taste the salt From the nights I outgrew If I’m gonna break I’m breaking on my terms [Chorus] I make my choices For better or for worst For better or for worst That’s the way I move first Call it a gamble Call it what you want I make my choices For better or for worst [Bridge] If I lose it all tonight I’ll still say I was mine Not every scar is shame Not every bruise means blind I’ve got fire in my hands And dust on my shirt I may bend, I may bend But I don’t learn by fear [Final Chorus] I make my choices For better or for worst For better or for worst That’s the way I move first Call it a gamble Call it what you want I make my choices For better or for worst (For better or for worst) (For better or for worst)
