Lyrics

[Verse 1]
How high are the stakes?
How much fortune can you make?
How high are the stakes?
How much fortune can you make?
[Verse 2]
It's funny
I spent my whole life wanting to be talked about
I did it
Just about everything to see my name in lights
[Verse 3]
Was it all worth it?
And how did I earn it?
Nobody's perfect
I guess I deserved it
[Verse 4]
How high are the stakes?
How much fortune can you make?
Does this get any better?
[Verse 5]
Should I carry on?
Will it matter when I'm gone?
Will any of this matter?
[Verse 6]
It's funny
How everybody mentions my name, but they're never very nice
I took it
Just about everything, except my own advice
[Verse 7]
Was it all worth it?
And how did I earn it?
Nobody's perfect
I guess I deserved it
[Verse 8]
How high are the stakes?
How much fortune can you make?
Nothing lasts forever
Does this get any better?
[Verse 9]
Should I carry on?
Will it matter when I'm gone?
Does it make a difference?
Will any of this matter?
[Verse 10]
How high? Does it make a difference?
Nothing lasts forever
Should I? Will it matter when I'm gone?
Will any of this matter?
[Verse 11]
How high are the stakes?
How much fortune can you make?
Should I carry on?
Will it matter when I'm gone?
[Verse 12]
How high are the stakes?
How much fortune can you make?
Does this get any better?
[Verse 13]
Should I carry on?
Will it matter when I'm gone?
Will any of this matter?
[Verse 14]
How high are the stakes?
Does it make a difference?
Nothing lasts forever
Does this get any better?
[Verse 15]
Should I carry on?
Will it matter when I'm gone?
Does it make a difference?
Will any of this matter?
[Verse 16]
How high are the stakes?
How much fortune can you make?
Should I carry on?
Will it matter when I'm gone?
[Verse 17]
How high are the stakes?
How much fortune can you make?
Should I carry on?
Will it matter when I'm gone?
