Verse 1
No questions - so no lyin’
I live for no one, so there is no love to cry for
No expectations so my hopes won’t be dyin’
I stand for nothin’, ‘cause there is so much to fall for
But if I don’t give up a little
I’ll never gain a thing
And I want so much more
Chorus
I’m ready to lose; I’m ready to fall
I think it might be better to try and fail
Than never to try at all
I’m ready to lose; ‘cause if I ever want to win
I’ve got to play and take my chances
So let my life begin
Verse 2
If I’m stretching, there’s gonna be aching
To aim for something could lead to falling short of it
If I’m caring it might be seen as invading
To believe in something could mean suffering for the sake of it
But even if it hurts a little
I just might grow a lot
Then I can do so much more
Chorus
I’m ready to lose; I’m ready to fall
I think it might be better to try and fail
Than never to try at all
I’m ready to lose; ‘cause if I ever want to win
I’ve got to play and take my chances
So let my life begin
Bridge
I won’t always be defeated or be denied
I might never get the fame, but I’ll never wonder why
I didn’t play the game
Chorus
I’m ready to lose; I’m ready to fall
I think it might be better to try and fail
Than never to try at all
I’m ready to lose; ‘cause if I ever want to win
I’ve got to play and take my chances
I’ve got to play and take my chances
So let my life begin
