[Verse 1]

What if I just stop believin'?

What if I just stop dreamin'?

[Refrain]

Try to rest, I try to think

I cannot grasp my fate

[Verse 2]

What if I just stop slavin'?

What if I just stop hoardin' up?

[Refrain]

I try to rest, I try to think

I cannot grasp my fate

[Chorus]

I just needed a pat

Now I will fight my way through

Enduring the test

Enhancin' and energizin' myself

[Post-Chorus]

What if I just lock myself up?

No pain, sweet relief

[Verse 3]

What if I just quit believing?

What if I just quit dreaming?

[Refrain]

Try to rest, I try to think

I cannot grasp my fate

[Chorus]

I just needed a pat

Now I will fight my way through

Enduring the test

Enhancin' and energizin' myself

[Post-Chorus]

What if I just lock myself up?

No pain, sweet relief

[Outro]

What if I lock myself up?

No loss, such a victory
