Life Is a Game

Lyrics

[Verse 1] I woke with a map folded under my sleeve A coffee-stained plan and a reason to leave The road doesn’t promise the shape of the prize But every wrong turn puts a clue in my eyes [Pre-Chorus] I can lose a round and still raise my hand Learn the rules by building where I stand [Chorus] Life is a game, so I’m stepping inside No perfect move, no place left to hide If I fall, I’ll rise with a different name Heart on the table, I’m playing the game Life is a game, and I’m here for the flame [Verse 2] Some doors stay locked, some bets disappear Some voices get loud when the finish is near I keep every lesson, I leave the regret The best part of trying is what hasn’t happened yet [Pre-Chorus] I can lose a round and still raise my hand Build tomorrow from the cards I can [Chorus] Life is a game, so I’m stepping inside No perfect move, no place left to hide If I fall, I’ll rise with a different name Heart on the table, I’m playing the game Life is a game, and I’m here for the flame [Bridge] When the room goes quiet and the odds look small I’ll remember I was made to risk it all Not for a crown, not for someone’s praise For the spark that survives through the hardest days [Final Chorus] Life is a game, so I’m stepping inside No perfect move, no place left to hide If I fall, I’ll rise with a different name Heart on the table, I’m playing the game Life is a game, and I’m here for the flame Life is a game, and I’m choosing my way [Outro] One more round, one more day I’m still here, I’m still in play
