Lyrics
I Want To Live
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.
I want to live
Where they'll change what they have done
Yeah
I must die
cold and shunned by the sun
Yeah
Why should I stay
Where there are people that hate
The things I need
and making me wait
yeah
They will teach you the hows instead of the why's
They will turn your truth into lies
I feel like crying
when I'm groping for a way
to stop it from going
cause I want it,
want it to stay
Yeah
They will teach you the hows instead of the why's
They will turn your truth into lies
I want to live
try, look and understand
I needed you to take hold of my hand
and pull me up, yeah
I feel but I can't, yeah
(Yes I do)
I want to, I want to live
Yes, I want to live yeah, yeah
To feel and...
[I'm gonna lose it, yeah]
