"Five Years" lyrics

Try and pretend
To remember when you're scared, you say
"Do you think that we could be
These people who lose everything?"
And don't forget, pretend you're scared
Pretend it well...

I'm finally at the place I'm staying
I finally have a place to call my own
I'm trying not to lose my reasons
I'm planning to remember all I know
You know if I lose my fear, it comes back
I hope he knows I tried...

Try and pretend
To erase the past five years you've lived
Now, do you think it would be the same?
Would you make the same mistakes
Or would you learn? But then you lose
So what for you?

I'm finally at the place I'm staying
I finally have a place to call my own
I'm trying not to lose my reasons
I'm planning to remember all I know
You know if I lose my fear, it comes back
I hope he knows I tried...
That I tried...
That I tried...

And now, do you think we could be
The kind that take everything?
For better or worse, what we say
You know we make the same mistakes
'Cause the ones that really got us here
And now don't you think that we would change?
We always make the same mistakes
The ones that win, they run this way...

I'm finally at the place I'm staying
I finally have a place to call my own
I'm trying not to lose my reasons
I'm planning to remember all I know
And you know if I lose my fear, it comes back
I hope he knows I tried...
I tried...
I tried...
I tried...
I tried...
