I've played this game many times
Been many things in my short life
I've laughed and cried
I've bled and died
Screamed in pain
Loved in vain
I've felt my heart break
Sifted through the ashes
Broken a heart or two
Shamed by this past
I am a shattered man
Rebuilding something new
I've been as down as I'm prepared to go
I know I'll end up lower before the end
