[Verse 1]
My life is like a video game, trying hard to beat the stage
All while I am still collecting coins
Trying hard to save the girl, obstacles, I'm jumping hurdles
I'm growing up to be a big boy
I battle with the evil ways, I travel far and try and save
Sorry, but your princess isn't here
I take a rest, I push the pause, level up and move along
In hopes that the next stage I will clear (I fucking passed, asshole)

[Pre-Chorus]
I'm just trying to keep from dying

[Chorus]
It's just a game that we play, and for heaven's sakes
Looking for a better way to play it
Life is for keeping score and forevermore
Stop complaining and start changing it

[Verse 2]
Today I went to therapy, told him my embarrassing
Issues that I'm having with my life
He told me that I need to change, life is not a video game
So stop playing and open up your eyes

[Pre-Chorus]
I'm just trying to keep from dying

[Chorus]
It's just a game that we play, and for heaven's sakes
Looking for a better way to play it
Life is for keeping score and forevermore
Stop complaining and start changing it

[Bridge]
Don't talk about it, just be about it
Don't ever doubt it, even when your brain is clouded
I may be crazy, but life's amazing
And through it all and even with your problems facing
So just know that it's okay

[Interlude]
My life is like a video game, trying hard to beat the stage
All while I am still collecting coins
Up, up, down, down, left, right, left, right, B, A, select, start

[Chorus]
It's just a game that we play, and for heaven's sakes
Looking for a better way to play it
Life is for keeping score and forevermore
Stop complaining and start changing it
It's just a game that we play, and for heaven's sakes
Looking for a better way to play it
Life is for keeping score and forevermore
Stop complaining and start changing it
