[Intro]

[Verse 1]

Someone once told me

That you have to choose

What you win or lose

You can't have everything

Don't you take chances

You might feel the pain

Don't you love in vain

Cause love won't set you free

[Pre-chorus 1]

Dm C G

I could stand by the side

Dm C G

And watch this life pass me by

So unhappy

But safe as could be

[Chorus]

N.C.

So what if it hurts me?

So what if I break down?

So what if this world just throws me off the edge

My feet run out of ground

I gotta find my place

I wanna hear my sound

Don't care about all the pain in front of me

G C Am

N.C.

Cause I'm just trying to be hap-py, yeah

Em G

Just wanna be happy, yeah

[Verse 2]

Holding on tightly

Just can't let it go

Just trying to play my role

Slowly disappear,

But all these days

They feel like they're the same

Just different faces, different names

Get me out of here

[Pre-chorus 2]

Well, I can't stand by the side, ooh no

Dm C G

And watch this life pass me by, pass me by

[Chorus]

So what if it hurts me?

Don't say anything
