Life For Rent
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 haven't ever really found a place that I call home
I never stick around quite long enough to make it
I apologize that once again I'm not in love
But it's not as if I mind, that your heart ain't exactly breaking
It's just a thought, only a thought
If my life is for rent
And I don't, learn to buy
Well, I deserve nothing more than I get
Cos nothing I have is truly mine
I've always thought that I would love to live by the sea
To travel the world alone
And live more simply
I have no idea what's happened to that dream
Cos, there's really nothing left here to stop me
It's just a thought, only a thought
If my life is for rent
And I don't, learn to buy
Well, I deserve nothing more than I get
Cos nothing I have is truly mine
If my life is for rent
And I don't, learn to buy
Well, I deserve nothing more than I get
Cos nothing I have is truly mine
While my heart is a shield
And I won't, let it down
While I am so, afraid to fail
So I won't even try
Well how can I, say I'm alive?
But if my life is for rent
And I don't learn to buy
Well, I deserve nothing more than I get
Cos nothing I have is truly mine
If my life is for rent
And I don't, learn to buy
Well, I deserve nothing more than I get
Cos nothing I have is truly mine
Cos nothing I have is truly mine
Cos nothing I have is truly mine
Cos nothing I have is truly mine
