Lyrics
Second Hand Life
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.
Always walking in somenone shadow
Ever since I could crawl
Afraid to break the chains around me
Stand up and walk tall
Everyone has felt the same rejection
Any child can see
In the mirror just a sad reflection
Of what there really can be
It's a second hand life we're living
When you're out on the street alone
Well l've done it your way
Now I'm taking what's mine
No matter wrong or right
Don't want no second hand life
Out of nowhere we come from nothing
Expect the world to provide
They gave me rules l'd never follow
Lelft on my own lo survive
They say they do it for your own protection
Why do we hurt who we love
Well cut the strings and go your own direction
Are you strong enough
It´s a second hand life we're given
Like a heart that has turned to stone
