Lyrics

Always thought the game came easy You never thought about it twice You never thought about it twice Your luck was never leaving So you just threw the dice And time was on your side Time was always on your side But times got tough and life got even So you told yourself some lies So you told yourself some lies And now you truly do believe that There's only one way to survive You gotta hold on to your pride Big girls, they don't cry Heart of stone, gone cold as ice Close the door, keep it all inside You trusted love, but love's deceiving And you know that it's unfair You know love is so unfair But it hurts the worst, believe me When you show them that you care So never show them that you care Big girls, they don't cry Heart of stone, gone cold as ice Close the door, keep it all inside Know when to hide Know when to fight Tell the lies Know how to survive Don't let them see, don't give yourself away Hold on, hold on Keep you head, girl, there's so much more at stake Hold on, hold on Hold on Hold on Hold on So you took a hit and the ship is going down Hold on, hold on A spark is lit and the fire's spreading fast Hold on, hold on Hold on Hold on Hold on See, clouds are bursting and water's rising fast Hold on, hold on Stop the wrecking ball, or the walls are coming down Hold on, hold on Hold on Hold on Hold on Hold on, hold on
