Ready To Lose

Verse 1
No questions - so no lyin?
I live for no one, so there is no love to cry for
No expectations so my hopes won?t be dyin?
I stand for nothin?, ?cause there is so much to fall for

But if I don?t give up a little
I?ll never gain a thing
And I want so much more..

Chorus
I?m ready to lose; I?m ready to fall
I think it might be better to try and fail
Than never to try at all
I?m ready to lose; ?cause if I ever want to win
I?ve got to play and take my chances...
So let my life begin...

Verse 2
If I?m stretching, there?s gonna be aching
To aim for something could lead to falling short of it
If I?m caring it might be seen as invading
To believe in something could mean suffering for the sake of it

But even if it hurts a little
I just might grow a lot
Then I can do so much more..

Chorus
I?m ready to lose; I?m ready to fall
I think it might be better to try and fail
Than never to try at all
I?m ready to lose; ?cause if I ever want to win
I?ve got to play and take my chances...
So let my life begin...

Bridge
I won?t always be defeated - or be denied
I might never get the fame, but I?ll never wonder why
I didn?t play the game..

Chorus
I?m ready to lose; I?m ready to fall
I think it might be better to try and fail
Than never to try at all
I?m ready to lose; ?cause if I ever want to win
I?ve got to play and take my chances...
I?ve got to play and take my chances...
So let my life begin...
