Stood a Chance
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
It takes so long
You're going forward looking back
A body like a welcome mat
You never even stood a chance (on your own)
A body like a welcome mat (on your own)
Going forward looking back (now you're looking back)
You never even stood a chance
You don't wanna know
You don't wanna know
You feel so safe, safe, safe
Being kept in the dark (you know you never stood a chance)
You know you never stood a chance
Cause it's that same dark place
Where you'll get torn apart (you know you never stood a chance)
You know you never stood a chance
On your own
On your own (hot damn, tell me that don't feel good)
It takes so long
You're never one for looking back
A body like a punching bag
You never even stood a chance
You don't wanna know (body like a punching bag)
You don't wanna know (you're never one for looking back)
You never even stood a chance (took a chance)
On your own
You feel so safe, safe, safe
Being kept in the dark (you know you never stood a chance)
You know you never stood a chance
Cause it's that same dark place
Where you'll get torn apart (you know you never stood a chance)
You know you never stood a chance
You feel so safe, safe, safe
Being kept in the dark (you know you never stood a chance)
You don't wanna know
Fat and happy straight to hell (woo oou hoo)
In a body like a prison cell
(Woo oou hoo)
Fat and happy straight to hell
In a body like a prison cell
Straight to hell
You know you never stood a chance
You feel so safe, safe, safe
Being kept in the dark (you know you never stood a chance)
You know you never stood a chance
Cause it's that same dark place
Where you'll get torn apart (you know you never stood a chance)
You know you never stood a chance
Yeah, in that same dark place
I will tear you apart
You know you never stood a chance (you know you never stood a chance)
On your own
I'm gonna tear you apart
