This is not meant to apologize for any place or time

This is not meant to eulogize for years gone by

All the words I've used to get me by I've memorised

You can't control where lightning strikes

You'd better bet there's always a bright side

I've got a trophy case full of mistakes

Never came in second place

I've been a castaway and flat on my face

Let me set the record straight

I never thought that I would be the one to give up

Doesn't matter anyway

I can't believe that I just made a mistake

O-o-o-o-oh

Guess I'm turning out OK

This is not for you to pick and choose the better side

This is not meant to be used as proof when I fail to lie

All the words I've used still hold true

I'll testify

Even black clouds have silver lines

You'd better bet there's always a bright side

I've got a trophy case full of mistakes

Never came in second place

I've been a castaway and flat on my face

Let me set the record straight

I never thought that I would be the one to give up

Doesn't matter anyway

I can't believe that I just made a mistake

O-o-o-o-oh

Guess I'm turning out OK

I've got a trophy case full of mistakes

Never came in second place

I've been a castaway and flat on my face

Let me set the record straight

I never thought that I would be the one to give up

Doesn't matter anyway

I can't believe that I just made a mistake

O-o-o-o-oh

Guess I'm turning out OK

I've got a trophy case full of mistakes

O-o-o-o-oh

Guess I'm turning out OK

I can't believe that I just made a mistake

O-o-o-o-oh

Doesn't matter anyway
