I was only seventeen, life had me by the throat
I could either stand and fight, or lay in foolish lies
I felt I had no choice, take what's left and make it count
Bruised heart and broken skin, I buried deep within
I made my call (I made my call)
I made my call, I had myself to lose
There's so much more (there's so much more)
There's so much more, I'd do it all again
When I was twenty-one, where was the promised fun?
I had to grow up fast, knew then it would never last
My world in plastic bags, shelf life would surely pass
If I kept it locked inside, my pain wasn't all I'd hide
I made my call (I made my call)
I made my call, I had myself to lose
There's so much more (there's so much more)
There's so much more, I'd do it all again
Sometimes, the closest ones to you
(Will leave you hanging)
Sometimes, the place you least expect
(You'll find your answers)
Sometimes, the things you think you own
(Will leave you empty)
Sometimes, the place you least expect
(You'll find your treasure)
Now here I am, a full-grown man
With wasted years summed up in private fears
I made the call, I made the call to bet it all on you
I made my call (I made my call)
I made my call, I had myself to lose
There's so much more (there's so much more)
There's so much more, I'd do it all again
I made my call (I made my call)
I made my call, I had myself to lose
There's so much more (there's so much more)
There's so much more, I'd do it all again
