Alter Bridge - Wouldn't You Rather Lyrics

Alter Bridge Lyrics

"Wouldn't You Rather"

Sell yourself short and buy a world of pain
Follow your bliss or pay the price

All of these lessons, I've learned them so well
There is no gain worth the commerce of self

Wouldn't you rather
Live from the heart?
A life that will matter
To be lived from the start

You wear an albatross around your neck
The spoils of war will bring you down

Heed my advice, may you hear every word
Don't sacrifice meaning for riches that burn

Wouldn't you rather
Live from the heart?
A life that will matter
To be lived from the start

All of these lessons I've learned for myself
There is no gain worth the commerce of self
A dream left for dead now a nightmare that feels like hell

Wouldn't you rather
Live from the heart?
A life that will matter
To be lived from the start

Wouldn't you rather
Live from the heart?
A life that will matter
To be lived from the start

I'd rather live from the heart
I'd rather live from the heart
