"My Life" lyrics
(feat. Matilda Marigolds)
I should've shot first
The second that I saw it coming
I made this thing worse
Yes I did
I coulda known more
And when I choose to bring it forward
I hope we return back to before
Cause this is my life
And only I can live it for me
One day at a time I lose this pain
This is my strife
And I can't seem to break the habit
Every time I help myself
I hurt myself again
And it goes
Oooo, oooo, oooo
Something real is takin' over
Oooo, oooo, oooo
And I can't help but help myself
And I-I-I
I don't wanna stop this feeling
I, I, I
I can choose to let it die
I should've shot first
For all the babies that he could've had
He picked her, yes he did
I could've done more
Cause when I see her cross the corridor
She's not sure
Cause this is her life
And only she can live it for her
One day at a time I'm waiting here
But this is my strife
And I can't seem to break the habit
Everytime I help myself
I hurt myself again
And it goes
Oooo, oooo, oooo
Something real is takin' over
Oooo, oooo, oooo
And I can't help but help myself
And I-I-I
I don't wanna stop this feeling
I, I, I
I can choose to let it die
I can choose to let myself believe in
What I have
When do I get a second chance?
That precious, longful, blissful evening
When I sit down, you're already leavin'
Now I see (now I see)
A few things clearly
So here's the truth spoke so sincerely
I should've shot first
When all I wanted was someone to take off their smile
And my shirt
I coulda got hurt
When he told me I was beautiful
Lazy pins and needles
What's it worth?
But this is
His, her, my life
I'm thinkin' of the ways
That I could turn away and wound him just the same
But this is his strife
And either way the outcome stings
And everytime I help myself
I hurt myself again
And it goes
Oooo, oooo, oooo
Something real is takin' over
Oooo, oooo, oooo
And I can't help but help myself
And I-I-I
I don't wanna stop this feeling
I-I-I
I don't wanna stop this feeling
I-I-I
I don't wanna stop this feeling
I, I, I
I can choose to let it die
The second that I saw it coming
I made this thing worse
Yes I did
I coulda known more
And when I choose to bring it forward
I hope we return back to before
Cause this is my life
And only I can live it for me
One day at a time I lose this pain
This is my strife
And I can't seem to break the habit
Every time I help myself
I hurt myself again
And it goes
Oooo, oooo, oooo
Something real is takin' over
Oooo, oooo, oooo
And I can't help but help myself
And I-I-I
I don't wanna stop this feeling
I, I, I
I can choose to let it die
I should've shot first
For all the babies that he could've had
He picked her, yes he did
I could've done more
Cause when I see her cross the corridor

Cause this is her life
And only she can live it for her
One day at a time I'm waiting here
But this is my strife
And I can't seem to break the habit
Everytime I help myself

Oooo, oooo, oooo
Something real is takin' over
Oooo, oooo, oooo
