Struggle
The Planet Smashers Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

A million dollar question
What's the winning look for this year?
The game is on and seasons in full swing
Stakes are high pick your invitations

Careful not to push or shove
If you want in on the new idea
Who will be the first to unite?
Stand up and check your invitation

Sorry if I act this way, these are things that I can't change
Courage is my only hope; I struggle as I try to cope

A million dollar question
What's the winning look for this year?
The game is on and the pace is picking up
Place your bets no room for hesitation

The trick is to show some love
If you want in on the next idea
Gotta say you're in the know
Stand up and check your invitations

Sorry if I have to say, you'll never see me last this way
Courage is my only hope; I struggle as I try to cope

Sorry if I act this way, these are things that I can't change
Courage is my only hope; I struggle as I try to cope





You will never see me act this way
Must I always be the one to bleed?
