  • It's a game
    Baby, it's just a game
    And nobody loses when you learn to love the one
    Who finally wins sometimes
    You'll be wrong
    'Cause sometimes, we get it wrong
    But nobody leaves here alive
    And nothin' holy comes from bein' right

    So don't hold your breath like that
    Baby, let it go
    You're gonna feel it in your back
    Believe me, I oughta know

    You're a stone wall
    In a world full of rubber bands
    You're a pillar of belief
    Still bitin' your shakin' hands
    Folks are gonna lean on you
    And leave when the cracks appear
    But, darlin', I'll be here
    I'll be the last
    You're my letter to the past

    You can cry
    You know it's always okay to cry
    You don't even need to know why
    But don't you ever feel alone inside
    If you need to know the truth
    I still haven't got a clue
    If the blind can lead the blind
    Then, baby, I'm just like you

    You're a stone wall
    In a world full of rubber bands
    You're a pillar of belief
    Still fightin' your empty hands
    Folks are gonna lean on you
    And leave when the cracks appear
    But, darlin', I'll be here
    I'll be the last
    You're my letter to the past

    You're a stone wall
    In a world full of rubber bands
    You're a pillar of belief
    Still hidin' your empty hands
    Folks are gonna lean on you
    And leave when the cracks appear
    Darlin', I will be here
    I'll be the last
    You're my letter to the past

    It's a game
    You know it's okay to lose a game
    But always remember your name
    And have no shame
    Because you're built to last Writer/s: Brandi Carlile, Phil Hanseroth, Tim Hanseroth
