Lyrics

So you say that you're tired of depressing songs
Well I'm tired of living them
You know, sometimes it takes all I have
Just to go through the motions
And I know it's hard to understand
That's probably why I don't have a hand
To pull me through to the light, say I'll be all right
So I sing this
But I'm not writing them
I'm reporting them
I'm living them
And I'm dying to
Live a life that feels alive
Where I can get back where I feel all right
And I can write my story and start living it
Instead of the other way around
I'm not going down
Sometimes I think I don't want to stay
If it's always going to feel this way
But I know that the life I've lived
Hasn't always been like this
And the thought of that gives me hope
That I can get back to the life I used to know
Where, with my eyes closed tight
The words I shout to the sky
And these stories—
I'll be writing them
Not just reporting them
I'll be living them
Cos I'm dying to
Live a life that feels alive
Where I can get back where I feel all right
And I can write my story and start living it
Instead of the other way around
I'm not going down
I'm gonna live a life that feels alive...
