[Verse 1]
Congratulations
On your jubilation
Our hearts are breakin' underneath all the applause
This devastation
Is of our own makin'
But we've never tasted this much bitterness before

[Pre-Chorus]
And everybody falls
But some of us are born to fight and fight and fight some more

[Chorus]
So we will see you here
Same time, same place next year
And you may win this battle, but you'll never win the war
Better to have fought and lost than never fought at all

[Verse 2]
Go take a bow
Your audiеnce is waiting
We'll take thе shadows since the limelight isn't ours
We wanted it so bad
Gave it all we had
Oh, but wanting it doesn't always make it yours
[Pre-Chorus]
This time was ours to lose
But fortune favours those who ride the storm and make it through

[Chorus]
So we will see you here
Same time, same place next year
And you may win this battle, but you'll never win the war
Better to have fought and lost than never fought at all

[Instrumental Break]
Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh
Ah, ah, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh
Ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh
Ooh

[Bridge]
So here on the same ground
When the tables have turned around
Oh, when your tears fall as your world is crashin' down
I hope when you see me
You'll remember that feelin'
Oh, 'cause we've both seen the world from both sides now

[Pre-Chorus]
And everybody falls
And life will tear you down and show you what's worth fightin' for
[Chorus]
Oh, we will see you here
Same time, same place next year
And you may win this battle, but you'll never win the war
Better to have fought and lost than never fought at all

[Outro]
Better to have fought and lost than never fought at all
