Is it better to get your hopes up, then fail

Or just be hopelessly outmatched from the beginning

Most would say "but you have to try"

Or "failure breeds success"

But you're failing right now

And it sucks

At least you know the outcome when you're being thrashed around

You know you'll lose

And that gives you comfort

You can comfortably fight the inevitable

And go down like a hero

While if you almost succeed

If you feel the victory just out of reach

And then have it slamed away from you

I don't know

That seems like a tougher blow to take
