live Life
Verse 1:
My life is full of strife, yet I want to live
I’m just not feeling good enough I guess…
Expressing how I feel is the only way to give
How I truly feel towards you regardless…
Pre-chorus:
Sometimes, I feel the urge to cry
You don’t understand cuz you never asked why
I wish I was no more in the flames of your words…
Yet, you don’t understand
Where I stand…
Chorus:
I want to live…live…live…
Give me a second reason to…give…give…give…
My life is full of strife tonight
You’ve given up, but that’s alright…
I feel as if I’m falling apart
I’m sorry, there’s no where to hide
I deal with this heavy heart
I’m sorry, words choked up inside
Verse 2:
My life is full of strife and not everything is black and white
Devastating…you’re hating spirit got me feeling jaded
I’m sorry I’ve let you down with a burning spirit of fright
As of lately, I wish I was no more…feeling so hated…
Pre-chorus:
Sometimes, I feel the urge to cry
You don’t get it cuz you never asked why
I wish I was no more in the flames of your words…
Yet, you don’t understand
Where I stand…
Chorus:
Yet, I want to live…live…live…all this is true…
Give me a second reason to…give…give…give you…
My life is full of strife tonight
You’ve given up, but that’s alright…
I feel as if I’m falling apart
I’m sorry, I’ve given up…
I deal with this heavy heart
I’m sorry, words choked up
Bridge 1:
So, burn the pages of my poetry
So, burn my house for an eternity…
Restrain yourself from hurting me again
You were the one that sheltered me with rain
So, the oceans of my mind…
Churn and turn the turbulent tides of what the truth may find…
Pre-chorus:
Sometimes, I feel the urge to cry
You don’t get it cuz you never asked why
At times, I wish I was no more in the flames of your words…
You don’t understand cuz I want to die
Chorus:
Yet, I want to live…live…live…all this is true…
Give me a second reason to…give…give…give you…
My life is full of strife tonight
You’ve given up, but that’s alright…
I feel as if I’m falling apart
From the start, from the start
Bridge 2:
I want to live without strife all my life…
If you can be so kind, I’ll take the knife
And carve all this feelings of shame away
Maybe someday, we’ll be in peace today
Yet, our thoughts are hidden in Southwest
Maybe it’s best…I leave this as God’s test
To set me free from captivity…
To set me free from strife all my lonely life
Let live, give…you’ll truly see…
Your words cut me deeper than a knife
Yet, I want to live, live, live life free…
