How 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.
Guess I’m sleeping over after all
Something dark and something beautiful
But I don’t want to tell you how to live
You’re lonely and you don’t know when to quit
I guess we’re not so different after all
Never enough taking the world off your shoulders
It’s never enough taking our demons to bed
I don’t want to tell you how to live
I don’t want to tell you how to live your life
But maybe we just don’t know when to quit
Maybe we just don’t know when to quit the lie
I could fill a lifetime with love that I left behind
It’s hard to unravel our bodies are so intertwined
But maybe there’s nothing left to save
You’re just the grass on a stranger’s grave
And I’m still ashamed of the wreckage I left in your life
Never enough taking the world off your shoulders
It’s never enough taking our demons to bed
I don’t want to tell you how to live
I don’t want to tell you how to live your life
But maybe we just don’t know when to quit
Maybe we just don’t know when to quit the lie
Never enough taking the world off your shoulders
It’s never enough taking our demons to bed
Somedays you’re crashing like a wave around me
Somedays you pull me underneath and drown me
Guess we’re not so perfect after all
Something dark and something beautiful
Never enough taking the world off your shoulders
It’s never enough taking our demons to bed
I don’t want to tell you how to live
I don’t want to tell you how to live your life
But maybe we just don’t know when to quit
Maybe we just don’t know when to quit
Never enough taking the world off your shoulders
It’s never enough taking our demons to bed
Somedays you’re crashing like a wave around me
Somedays you pull me underneath and drown me
