Verse 1 You fought your battles, scars on skin The fire burned, but not within You gave it all, but lost the war Left counting pieces on the floor Chorus Sometimes, you just can't win The tides pull out, they won't come in And life keeps moving, thick and thin But sometimes, you just can't win Verse 2 A shattered dream, a broken crown The world keeps spinning, you break down No silver lining, no sunrise Just empty echoes in your eyes Chorus Sometimes, you just can't win The tides pull out, they won't come in And life keeps moving, thick and thin But sometimes, you just can't win Bridge It's not the fall, it's not the pain It's knowing sunshine needs the rain But even light can't always mend The stories left without an end Final Chorus Sometimes, you just can't win The tides pull out, they won't come in And life keeps moving, thick and thin But sometimes, you just can't win
