Lyrics

Well, every game told me one thing clear
You're not done just 'cause it hurts in here
Fall down hard, stand back up
Sometimes hope looks like dumb luck
Hearts break like cheap controller stick drift pulling you older
But somehow you learn to cope
When the screen says "one life left"
They never said it'd be easy
They just said "keep going"
I live with an extra life mentality
Even when it feels like I'm out of continues
I take the hit, I keep moving
Funny how games taught me how to choose it
When the world says "this is the end"
I hear "respawn" instead
We learn patience from grinding slow
Learn failure's not a final blow
Boss fights come when you're not ready
Still you stand there, hand shaking steady
Every scar feels permanent 'til time patches over it
Not erased, but understood
Like old saves that still feel good
Maybe that's the secret truth
We learn survival before youth
I live with an extra life mentality
Even when it feels like I'm out of continues
I take the hit, I keep moving
Funny how games taught me how to choose it
When the world says "this is the end"
I hear "respawn" instead
No perfect run, no flawless play
Just staying in the game
Extra life mentality
Still here, still breathing
If this is all I carry forward
It's enough to keep believing
Insert coin, try again
Insert coin
