Fought & Lost Songtext
von Sam Ryder

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

And everybody falls
But some of us are born to fight
And fight and fight some more

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


Go take a bow, your
Audience is waiting
We'll take the 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

This time was ours to lose
But fortune favours those
Who ride the storm and make it though

So we will see you here
Same time, same place next year
And you can take this battle
'Cause we′re gonna win the war
Better to have fought and lost
Than never fought at all

So here on the same ground
When the tables have turned around
Oh, when your tears fall
As your world is crashing down


I hope when you see me
You remember that feeling
Oh, 'cause we′ve both seen the world
From both sides now

And everybody falls
And life will tear you down to show you
What's worth fighting for

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

Better to have fought and lost
Than never fought at all
