How often have I stood alone in the rain
Today I know, that's life
When you're on top, everything's easy
When it goes down, you pay triple
For the lies you live
For the truth you twist
You'll feel how guilt eats you up
For the mistakes you make
For the words you say
You'll feel how it is
When nobody misses you anymore
Through ebb and flood
From ashes and from embers
I've tried it a thousand times
If you don't love yourself, you'll never love
If you cheat yourself, you'll cheat
If you absolutely want to reach the stars
The sky will pull away from you
And never lose your face
Believe me, it's not worth it
If you do what you don't feel
You gamble your heart away
Through ebb and flood
From ashes and from embers
I've tried it a thousand times
Live for someone you love
For the one you always give it all
Live like it's your last day
Through ebb and flood
From ashes and from embers
I've tried it a thousand times
