[Verse 1]
I try to be cool and I try to be brave
And I try not to send myself to the grave
Before I've seen it through
Wake up and decide, keep my eyes on the prize
And I won’t even feel that my back's on your knife
Until I've seen it through

[Pre-Chorus]
Spending all my time, oh pretending that I’m, oh
Pulling out my heart
But I could spend ages putting nonsense on pages
And pass it off as art

[Chorus]
I hope I work it out and I hope it ain't for nothing
And I'm hoping I earn my place in the coffin
Of my gravestone, gravestone
One that has your name on, name on
I hope I work it out and I hope it ain't for nothing
And I'm hoping I earn my place in the coffin
Of my gravestone, gravestone
One that has your name on, name on

[Verse 2]
Try not to reach all the heights or to breach all the terms and conditions
Of the life that we seek, life's a bitch, life's a beach
And I'm drowning in the sea
I’m trying to stay cool and fight in the oncoming whitey
I don’t smoke anymore, but I'm pretending that I do
So you think I’m cool
[Pre-Chorus]
Spending all my time, oh pretending that I'm, oh
Pulling out my heart
But I could spend ages putting nonsense on pages
And pass it off as art

[Chorus]
I hope I work it out and I hope it ain't for nothing
And I'm hoping I earn my place in the coffin
Of my gravestone, gravestone
One that has your name on, name on
I hope I work it out and I hope it ain’t for nothing
And I'm hoping I earn my place in the coffin
Of my gravestone, gravestone
One that has your name on, name on

[Bridge]
I don't mind whatever my fate is
As long as I can reincarnate and
I'd live a thousand lives and I'd die a thousand times
Just to get one more chance at another by your side
Oh, I don't mind whatever my fate is
As long as I can reincarnate and
I'd live a thousand lives and I'd die a thousand times
Just to get one more chance at another by your side
Oh, I don't mind whatever my fate is
As long as I can reincarnate and
I'd live a thousand lives and I'd die a thousand times
Just to get one more chance, to get one more chance, oh
[Chorus]
I hope I work it out and I hope it ain't for nothing
And I'm hoping I earn my place in the coffin
Of my gravestone, gravestone
One that has your name on, name on
I hope I work it out and I hope it ain't for nothing
And I'm hoping I earn my place in the coffin
Of my gravestone, gravestone
One that has your name on, name on
