Lyrics
Wouldn't You Rather
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Sell yourself short and buy a world of pain
Follow your bliss or pay the price
All of these lessons I've learned them so well
There is no gain worth the commerce of self
Wouldn't you rather
Live from the heart
A life that will matter
To be lived from the start?
You wear an albatross around your neck
The spoils of war will bring you down
Heed my advice, may you hear every word
Don't sacrifice meaning for riches that burn
Wouldn't you rather
Live from the heart
A life that will matter
To be lived from the start, oh?
All of these lessons I've learned for myself
There is no gain worth the commerce of self
A dream left for dead now a nightmare that feels like hell
Wouldn't you rather
Live from the heart
A life that will matter
To be lived from the start?
Wouldn't you rather
Live from the heart
A life that will matter
To be lived from the start?
I'd rather live from the heart
I'd rather live from the heart
