Lyrics

[INTRO]
Yeah, oh
It's hard to take
When you've worked for it all
And you’re standing tall
But the floor just crumbles away

[VERSE 1]
I gave my heart, I gave my soul
Every moment, every goal
I fought through storms, I climbed the highs
Just to face a bitter goodbye
Rising up, I bled for this
Can’t let it go, I can’t dismiss
But the clock ticks down, the shadows grow
Caught in the fear of losing control

[CHORUS]
I hate to lose, I hate to fall
When the stakes are high, I give it my all
Fighting through the dark, I refuse to fade
I’ll stand my ground, I won’t be afraid
In the eye of the storm, I find my voice
With every tear and every choice
I hate to lose, it cuts too deep
But I’ll keep on fighting, I won’t lose sleep

[VERSE 2]
Lessons learned, oh, they don’t come cheap
Every scar reminds me, every leap
Chasing dreams that slip like sand
Holding on, but can’t understand
Why the echoes of doubt creep in
Testing my strength, tearing my skin
But I push through the pain, dig in my heels
In this game of life, it’s all that I feel

[CHORUS]
I hate to lose, I hate to fall
When the stakes are high, I give it my all
Fighting through the dark, I refuse to fade
I’ll stand my ground, I won’t be afraid
In the eye of the storm, I find my voice
With every tear and every choice
I hate to lose, it cuts too deep
But I’ll keep on fighting, I won’t lose sleep

[BRIDGE]
Every setback, every trial
It won't define me, no, not for a while
Building back stronger, brick by brick
I may bend, but I’ll never break

[HOOK]
Oh, hate to lose, but I’ll never quit
Burning bright, I refuse to sit
With every heartbeat, I’ll find my way
'Cause losing’s not a price I’ll pay

[CHORUS]
I hate to lose, I hate to fall
When the stakes are high, I give it my all
Fighting through the dark
