Consider the odds
Consider the obvious
The martyr is meaningless
The campaign has died
In the planning stages
And the fallen faces
Are the singular proof
That it was ever alive
This purchased rebellion
Has been outbidded
Denounced and rescinded
And left to die championless
Championless, championless
I begged you not to go
I begged you, I pleaded
Claimed you as my only hope
And watched the floor as you retreated
Hope has sprung a perfect dive
A perfect day, a perfect lie
A slowly crafted monologue
Conceding your defeat
This purchased rebellion
Has been outbidded
Denounced and rescinded
And left to die championless
Championless, championless
I begged you not to go
I begged you, I pleaded
Claimed you as my only hope
And watched the floor as you retreated
Does it comfort you to know you fought the good fight?
Basking in your victory, hollow and alone
To boast your bitter bragging rights to anyone who'll listen
While you're left with nothing tangible to gain
Consider the obvious
The martyr is meaningless
The campaign has died
In the planning stages
And the fallen faces
Are the singular proof
That it was ever alive
This purchased rebellion
Has been outbidded
Denounced and rescinded
And left to die championless
Championless, championless
I begged you not to go
I begged you, I pleaded
Claimed you as my only hope
And watched the floor as you retreated
Hope has sprung a perfect dive
A perfect day, a perfect lie
A slowly crafted monologue
Conceding your defeat
This purchased rebellion
Has been outbidded
Denounced and rescinded
And left to die championless
Championless, championless
I begged you not to go
I begged you, I pleaded
Claimed you as my only hope
And watched the floor as you retreated
Does it comfort you to know you fought the good fight?
Basking in your victory, hollow and alone
To boast your bitter bragging rights to anyone who'll listen
While you're left with nothing tangible to gain

i didnt want to read what other people wrote because i didnt want to lose what was in my head, so if this is a repeat i am sorry... what i see it as is this chick who he liked lots really liked him but didnt want to admit it because he wasnt cool enough for her. So though he is left without her, he actually sees it as feeling bad for her because she couldnt get above the small stuff even if she liked him a lot. like she doesnt want people to see them together and so it bothers him and he doesnt want to let her go--but who wants to be with someone who doesnt want to be with them? so in the end everyone loses. its like she made a big deal to him about how they couldnt be together... but it was all show to make some kind of point... whoa or maybe i am really off... hah
