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…
