It's so hard to know exactly what you need to say
When no one wants to hear it from you anyway
You get all caught up til it seems like it's all just a waste of time
Your friends they left you
They sold out
Went for the easy money
They gave up
They got old
Married their high schòol honeys
To pretend late at night with the wife
It wasn't all just a waste of time
When everything was going our way
Everybody on the winning side says that you're alright
Until there's trouble on the highway
Suddenly you're at the wheel alone
They drop out of sight
The ones who swore they'd never leave you
When your back's to the wall
Now they're all up and gone from the scene
The couple friends who still believe in you
Hold on to them now cause they're few and f*cking far between
When getting even is the reason you can find
For going through another day and coming out on the other side
Whatever gets us through
Long as there's you and I
We'll get by
It always hurts when everybody does you wrong
You always said that living well's the best revenge
We'll prove it now
It don't matter what we're up against
It don't matter what we're up against
No one listened to your story like they did last year
And people seem to fade into the atmosphere
But when I look to you with me here
It don't matter anyway
They'll never stop from wishing ill
Whisper behind your back
And it's so easy now to see the odds are getting stacked
So push our chips into the middle
It's the answer to the riddle we're up against
They only wish you'd play along now
And live a lifetime pacing circles in your head
While counting all the ways you're wrong now
Nobody cares about the letter
There's been better
So they said
So you and me are getting out now
We don't have a dime
Half the time
We're not making cents
There's every reason we could doubt now
But me and you will get through every single thing we're up against
When getting even is the reason you can find
For going through another day and coming out on the other side
Whatever gets us through
Long as there's you and I
We'll get by
It always hurts when everybody does you wrong
You always said that living well's the best revenge
Well prove it now
It don't matter what we're up against
It don't matter what we're up against
Oh no oh oh
It don't matter what we're up against
Oh no
It don't matter what we're up against
Oh no
