Paroles: The Prize Fight. Lesson #6: Learn To Let Go.

Make a decision,
and take some time to think
if what you've done is right for
everyone involved in this.

How could we go that far
if we don't know who we are?
If this is the time and place
to make mistakes,
I'd better say what I mean
'cause we're better off this way.

If all else fails,
at least I've learned that
there is no use trying to work things out
if giving up might get me somewhere.
All is well.
At least that's what you'll tell yourself
when the weight of your world falls upon you.

State your position
and learn to live with it.
'Cause there's no second chances
when it comes to things like this.

Yeah, we'll go that far
and we'll learn who we are.
Lately it's all the rage to make mistakes
and you're just one in the crowd,
so we're better off this way.

If all else fails,
at least I've learned that
there is no use trying to work things out
if giving up might get me somewhere.
All is well.
At least that's what you'll tell yourself
when the weight of your world falls upon you.


We're not good at giving up,
but this time that's all I have to give.
Well, you're screaming "No! No! Don't let me go!"
As I walk off,
tell me if you think I move too quick.

This isn't what we planned for.
I never imagined this one.
Your little grudge is lasting
much much longer than I've expected.
We'll work this out if you come around.
You'll have to weather all
to hear my laugh or see my smile again.

If all else fails,
at least I've learned that
there is no use trying to work things out
if giving up might get me somewhere.
All is well.
At least that's what you'll tell yourself
when the weight of your world falls upon you.

Less talk and more giving up
will demonstrate the way in which you deal.
When you cursed the walls
that we built in the backyard,
you'll only curse them to yourself.
I could watch you walk off
and soon enough you'll know it's because
this is the price you'll pay for being alone.
This is the price you'll pay for being alone.

Well, this is the price you'll pay for being alone.
