If you want to rise
Then you better plan to fall
You can't always be the best
You can't always have it all
I know, sometimes you really feel like crap
(And I have to tiptoe, walk across your eggshell)
But you don't, have the control you're in a maze like a rat
You don't, know what it's like on my side of the tracks
(everywhere you go you think it's so special)
But I know, you think you're so generous and good at giving back
I know you know, that we know that you know that you're wrong
But you've been lost, inside your own games for far too long
I think sometimes I think I see a glimmer
A little spark of something real something that shimmers
But then it all gets tarnished and ugly
When you go around your town and tell those same selfish stories
If you want to rise
Then you better plan to fall
You can't always be the best
You can't always have it all
You can't always be the best
You can't always have it all
You can't always be the best
You can't always have it all
