1.	The Combat Song (2021) [Revisited] 06:28	lyrics
Well I climbed so high But I fell so far It was worth it It was worth it And I danced so fast That I broke my ass It was worth it It was worth it And I trusted all my friends And you were my best friend Outside my bedroom window the snowflakes fall I remember when you told me we'd catch them all Each snowflake like a dream lost in a sea of white It won't mean anything Everything is lost in flames There's nothing left for us to be Your promises mean nothing to me You're just a bad old scar or a ship lost at sea I won't remember you or what we achieved I keep my hands in my pockets and my heart on my sleeve I'm not ready for you to come around And you're not ready to burn to the ground You tried to say what you really meant to say But all it did was to help me run away I can't escape my fate Now I'm seeing this so clearly You never loved me Lesson learned Outside my bedroom window the snowflakes melt I remember all the times that you gave me hell You took everything, everything and kept it to yourself So much for "Romeo and Juliet" when I'm with someone else It gives you hell Your promises mean nothing to me You're just a bad old scar or a ship lost at sea I won't remember you or what we achieved I keep my hands in my pockets and my heart on my sleeve I'm not ready for you to come around And you're not ready to burn to the ground You tried to say what you really meant to say But all it did was to help me run away I can't escape my fate Now I'm seeing this so clearly You never loved me Well I climbed so high But I fell so far Was it worth it? Was it worth it? And I got so high That I lost my mind Was it worth it? Was it worth it? Have I wasted all my time? Have I truly lived my life?
2.	The Combat Song (2011) [10-Year Anniversary Reissue] 05:26	lyrics
Well I climbed so high But I fell so far It was worth it It was worth it And I danced so fast That I broke my ass It was worth it It was worth it And I trusted all my friends And you were my best friend Outside my bedroom window the snowflakes fall I remember when you told me we'd catch them all. Each snowflake like a dream lost in a sea of white It won't mean anything Everything is lost in flames There's nothing left for us to be Your promises mean nothing to me You're just a bad old scar or a ship lost at sea I won't remember you or what we achieved I keep my hands in my pockets and my heart on my sleeve I'm not ready for you to come around And your not ready to burn to the ground You tried to say what you really meant to say But all it did was to help me run away I can't escape my fate Now I'm seeing this so clearly You never loved me Lesson learned Outside my bedroom window the snowflakes melt I remember all the times that you gave me hell You took everything, everything and kept it to yourself So much for "Romeo and Juliet" when I'm with someone else It gives you hell Your promises mean nothing to me You're just a bad old scar or a ship lost at sea I won't remember you or what we achieved I keep my hands in my pockets and my heart on my sleeve I'm not ready for you to come around And your not ready to burn to the ground You tried to say what you really meant to say But all it did was to help me run away I can't escape my fate Now I'm seeing this so clearly You never loved me Lesson learned "And then the city fell from sight I swear it never shined so bright And everybody cried We all cried" But it was worth it for the last time...
