So tell me now if nothing ventured nothing gained Then why've I tried so goddamn hard just to swallow all this pain Nothing of the kind, put my money where my mouth is I'll take the stride I've lived a rough and rowdy life and all that that been said It feels like death warmed over me intent to kill I'm the fire to the fuel Like hell I've tried surely I've paid the price Prolonged the agony, pulling teeth to get it right Oh with good grace I can face this And oh I'll wipe my slate no more fakin' And oh maybe with faith I can make it Cause I can't take this anymore I've got one foot in the grave I'm off the mark to cheat my fate Well I've seen the fire, watched the ashes rise in smoke That's all she wrote, I've lost control Like hell I've tried surely I've paid the price Prolonged the agony, pulling teeth to get it right Oh with good grace I can face this And ohh I'll wipe my slate no more fakin' And oh maybe with faith I can make it Cause I can't take this anymore
