(Verse 1) We always said it’s over, never thought we’d see The day we’d wake up and it wouldn’t be you and me We thought we had forever, thought we had it all Never saw the moment we’d be the ones to fall (Chorus) Sometimes you win, sometimes you lose Sometimes the best road ain’t the one you choose But you stand back up from where you’ve been And pray that someday you can live again (Verse 2) The dreams we built together — future you and I Now those painted pictures slowly fade and die Living life without you, I’m learning how to try Taking every broken day one at a time (Chorus) Sometimes you win, sometimes you lose Sometimes the best road ain’t the one you choose But you stand back up from where you’ve been And pray that someday you can live again (Bridge) Now the wounds are healing — it just takes time And the memories I’m making, they’re finally mine I look back and see the life I left behind But there’s a new one standing here, looking in my eyes (Chorus) Sometimes you win, sometimes you lose Sometimes the best road ain’t the one you choose But you stand back up from where you’ve been And pray that someday you can live again (Optional musical lift here — drop instruments, build into final chorus) (Final Chorus – Lifted Perspective) I’ve learned to win, you have to lose I’ve learned the best ain’t always the first you choose Yeah, I stood back up from where I’d been ’Cause she finally showed me how to live again
