Contestants get to have all the fun
If you're on the show you've already won
Now that I no longer compete
I feel incomplete
Taking part in the action
Made for easy interaction with friends
And nothing was the same
Once it wasn't just a game
I never wanted it to end
I hoped that I can feel alive again

Contestants are divided for fun
They face challenges that are never done
Since every single person you meet
Could cause your defeat
All they want is your reaction
As you become a fraction, a blend
Between who you really are
And what you know could get you far
It's not meant for us to transcend
We have someone upon whom we depend

We have someone upon whom we depend

Contestants are divided for fun
(Contestants get to have all the fun)
They face challenges that are never done
(If you're on the show you've already won)
Since every single person you meet
Could cause your defeat
(Now that I no longer compete I feel incomplete)
All they want is your reaction
As you become a fraction, a blend
(I had easy interaction with friends)
And it would be a shame if we stayed what we became
(And nothing was the same once it wasn't just a game)
It's up to us to transcend
(I never wanted it to end)
I only want to feel alive again
(I hoped that I could feel alive again)

In fact when I think of that life
It isn't really living at all
