You Lose.
pity
lies
smiles
nothing
You win.
praise
lies
smiles
nothing
I just want an honest answer.
Tell me you love it when I lose,
hate it when I win,
tell me you want the glory,
you want the prize.
Tell me you work hard,
that you want anything to be at the top.
Tell me you want it
as much as I do,
because if you don't,
you'll be the one who gets left behind.

I really like the first two stanzas and the break up between the two different outcomes along with the different emotions that come with them.
