How high are the stakes

How much fortune can you make

[Repeat]

It's funny

I spent my whole life wanting to be talked about

I did it

Just about everything

To see my name in lights

Was it all worth it

And how did I earn it

Nobody's perfect

I guess I deserve it

[Chorus]

How high are the stakes

How much fortune can you make

Does this get any better

Should I carry on

Will it matter when I'm gone

Will any of this matter

It's funny

How everybody mentions my name

But they're never really nice

I took it

Just about everything

Except my own advice

Was it all worth it

And how did I earn it

Nobody's perfect

I guess I deserve it

[Chorus]

(Nothing lasts forever)

(Doesn't make a difference)

How high

Doesn't make a difference

Nothing lasts forever

Should I

Will it matter when I'm gone

Will any of this matter

How high are the stakes

How much fortune can you make

Should I carry on

Will it matter when I'm gone

[Chorus x2]
