Just 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 think I found where I belong
But I need more strength to carry on
And my life's hitten the bottom
I'm trapped in the bottle again
But it's time you'll see
I've got to be free
I've got to be me
I just want to live, just want to breathe
Why won't you let me
I just want to know, how deep it goes
Why won't you let me
I just want to be, what I'm gonna be
I don't wanna let you down
Just want to live, just want to give
Why won't you let me
I believe myself all that I can
Tired of talking to people who don't understand
If you live and live, it will continue
And I hope one day that you'll feel it too
Whatever you do
I just want to live, just want to breathe
Why won't you let me
I just want to know, how deep it goes
Why won't you let me
I just want to be, what I'm gonna be
I don't wanna let you down
Just want to live, just want to give
Why won't you let me
I just want to live, just want to breathe
Why won't you let me
I just want to know, how deep it goes
Why won't you let me
I just want to be, what I'm gonna be
I don't wanna let you down
Just want to live, just want to give
Why won't you let me
When the wheels in your head will stop spinning and not ...
And that this is the moment you've waited for all of your life, life
And you can't find the words to say, that you wanna say, anyway
I just want to live, just want to give
Why won't you let me
