The Kooks - Tough At The Top Lyrics

The Kooks Lyrics

"Tough At The Top"

It's tough at the top
Always on show
It's tough at the top
Nowhere left to go

It's tough at the top
Hard to let go

I don't have to be the strong one
I don't have to be the good son
I know exactly where I'm going
I don't have to give away anything

I just wanna live my life
They got me feeling more dead than alive
I just wanna live my life with you

It's tough at the top
Everyone wants more
It's tough at the top
Decisions and devotion

Picking up the pieces
You're bound to explode
It's tough at the top
I need to let go

I don't have to be the strong one
I don't have to give away anything

I just wanna live my life
They got me feeling more dead than alive
I just wanna live my life with you
I just wanna live my life
They got me feeling more dead than alive
I just wanna live my life with you

Need to let go
I don't have to be the strong one
I know exactly where I'm going
I don't have to give away anything

I just wanna live my life
They got me feeling more dead than alive
I just wanna live my life with you
I just wanna live my life
I just wanna live my life
I just wanna live my life with you
