C'est la Vie

When to play safe; how far to go?
I wouldn't mind screwing up and paying for it
-- I'm pretty good at moving on, really --
if only there's no one else to reprimand me.
Then again that wouldn't count as screwing up, now would it?
Risking things could be so much easier
when the only life to ruin is mine;
then again that wouldn't amount to much of a life, now would it?
