Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Just because I'm losing
Doesn't mean I'm lost
Doesn't mean I'll stop
Doesn't mean I'm across
[Verse 2]
Just because I'm hurting
Doesn't mean I'm hurt
Doesn't mean I didn't get what I deserved
No better and no worse
[Verse 3]
I just got lost
[Verse 4]
Every river that I tried to cross
Every door I ever tried was locked
Oh, and I'm just waiting till the shine wears off
[Verse 5]
You might be a big fish in a little pond
Doesn't mean you've won
'Cause along may come
A bigger one
[Verse 6]
And you've been lost
Every river that you tried to cross
Every gun you ever held went off
Oh, and I'm just waiting till the firing stopped
Oh, and I'm just waiting till the shine wears off
[Verse 7]
Oh, and I'm just waiting till the shine wears off
Oh, and I'm just waiting till l the shine wears off
Oh
Oh
