lyrics

If you think
You're better off
Stumbling on in ignorance,
Pretending it's OK

Then I just might
Be Content
To know the worst of this was not so bad
That we could not forget

So if you think
You're better off
Then go ahead

Is it courage of conviction
And strength of will
Or is it just the fear of change
That keeps you hanging on and on and on and on?
(On and on)

If you think
You're better off
Stumbling on in ignorance,
Pretending it's OK

Then I just might
Be Content
To know the worst of this was not so bad
That we could not forget

And I was right
When I said
It's so funny how nobody wins
If someone's keeping score

But I was wrong
When I believed
That the best of this was yet to come:
It must have passed me by

So if you think
You're better off
Stumbling on in ignorance
Pretending it's OK
Just go ahead
Carry on
Have it your way

So is it courage of conviction
And strength of will
Or is it just the fear of change
That keeps you hanging on and on and on and on?
That keeps you hanging on and on and on and on?
Keeps you hanging on
