Life Over Death

You've put your hope down a dead end track Crossed the line/ ain't no turnin' back You wanna wish everything away Joy has turned to a blistering pain Forced regret of who's to blame You live in a state of shame Chorus: If only you knew/ maybe you'd choose Life over death Accepting a lifestyle/is it worthwhile? To kill what you had? A lie you've made to better suit yourself Bridges burned/ no one left to help Everything is crashing right before your eyes Losing faith in everything that's right Light is overshadowed by the bitter night Nothing left/ you've run out of time Repeat ChorusX1 Bridge: Maybe one day you'll see before it's too late Life's too short to make foolish mistakes Let go of the ties that hold you down You can turn it all around/ You can turn everything around Guitar solo:) Repeat Chorus

I hope to see this one one the top 100 List someday. this was a great piece, i wrote a song a few years ago, or the poem, and this lady at Church put the music to it, but never got a chance to sing it at church. Have you put this to music yet? thank you for commenting on Lonely Cherry Tree.
