I want to live like i did back then
With the stars in my eyes
And the blood from the heart of a pen
With my hood pulled up
In the light of the night
I was smoke in the bed
Like a ghost white light
On the turnpike
You didn't lift my world off me
But you said to let it go
So i did, now i see
That my friends are gonna leave me
If they don't believe that they can save me
You don't have to live like that
You don't have to live like that
Like a bolt of lightning
Your stoplight moves on
And you wake up frightened
What's going on
What's going on
I'm waking up tired
No god has appeared
I never ever really
Felt real faith in your fear
You don't have to live like that
You don't have to live like that
I'm so sorry for the things i said
For the light of me died
When a part of her did
Like a dream, it's a fear
And it won't carry out
I'm living easy
Nightmare plant a seed
In the garden of doubt
You didn't lift my world off me
But you said to let it go
So i did, now i see
That my friends are gonna leave me
If they don't believe that they can save me
You don't have to live like that
You don't have to live like that
Like a bolt of lightning
Your stoplight moves on
And you wake up frightened
What's going on
What's going on
I'm waking up tired
No god has appeared
And i never ever really
Felt real faith in your fear
Let me wash it away
Let me wash it away
You never ever really
Felt real faith in your fear
You don't have to live like that
You don't have to live like that
You don't have to live like that
You don't have to live like that
