lyrics

You didn't want to hedge your bets on something so uncertain
There's nothing like the fear of failure as a motivation
You left your friends high and dry, with all the work they put in
Why even try when there's a chance that you could be rejected?

When you abandon ship
Screaming, 'All hands for themselves'
Are you even surprised that
Everything is fine?

You didn't want to hedge your bets on something so uncertain
There's nothing like the fear of failure as a motivation
You left your friends high and dry, with all the work they put in
Why even try when there's a chance that you could be rejected?

When you abandon ship
Screaming, 'All hands for themselves'
Are you really surprised that
The water feels like fire?

I warned you

If you paid it forward
Maybe then you wouldn't be
Trapped in this place where
You're afraid of every possibility
