Lyrics

[Verse 1]
I'm tired of losin' myself to some
Stupid childhood dream of what I could've been
Money proves the point, and I'm stuck between
Summer holidays and punk routine
I shoot off a hundred things to remain
More sorry than safe, you see
Only get this fuckin' chance once
I just can't let it be
[Verse 2]
Well, I'm still certain that what motivates me
Is more rewarding than any piece of paper could be
Well adjusted and corrupt
All those icons that stole our teenage lust
[PreChorus]
A scenario of simplicity
A scenario of you and me
A scenario of simplicity
A scenario of you and me
[Chorus]
Rather be forgotten
Than remembered for givin' in
Rather be forgotten
Than remembered for givin' in
Than remembered
Rather be forgotten
Than remembered for givin' in
Rather be forgotten
Than remembered for givin' in
Than remembered
[Verse 3]
We're all tired of dying
So sick of not tryin'
Scared that we might fail
We'll accomplish nothing
We're all tired of dying
So sick of not tryin'
Scared that we might fail
We'll accomplish nothing
[Verse 4]
Not even failure
Not even failure
Not even failure
Not even failure
[Verse 5]
Rather be forgotten
Than remembered for givin' in
Rather be forgotten
Than remembered for givin' in
Than remembered
Rather be forgotten
Than remembered for givin' in
Rather be forgotten
Than remembered for givin' in
Than remembered
[Verse 6]
Givin' in
Givin' in
Givin' in
