"Only Be A Story" lyrics

I think I lost my way again
Anybody listening?
I could really use a friend
Tell me where the water ends

And I won't die with all my songs inside
I won't lay me down like that
And I will try to bring my voice to life
So you can tell the truth when I'm gone

'Cause when I go I already know
My life will only be a story
All that I've been, all that I've built
All fades away inside a moment
And the pain won't matter, the power won't matter
The shame burns with the glory
When I'm gone
My life will only be a story

If I did it all again
What would I do different?
I'm rethinking everything
Wonder how the story ends

And I won't die with all my songs inside
I won't lay me down like that
And I will try to bring my voice to life
So you can tell the truth when I'm gone

'Cause when I go I already know
My life will only be a story
All that I've been, all that I've built
All fades away inside a moment
And the pain won't matter, the power won't matter
The shame burns with the glory
When I'm gone
My life will only be a story
Only be a story

And I hope that when I reach the end
That I gave you something to remember
When I'm gone

'Cause when I go I already know
My life will only be a story
All that I've been, all that I've built
All fades away inside a moment
And the pain won't matter, the power won't matter
The shame burns with the glory
When I'm gone
My life will only be a story
