"Love Will Live" lyrics

"Love Will Live"

I can smell the lies like a filthy net on me
All over my skin (All over my skin)
Suffocates my innocence, unwelcome hands on me
All over again (All over again)

There's a lie in the shadows saying I'm to blame
And it's feeding on my fear, my confusion and my shame
There's a lie in these years I've wasted on this pain
Things are gonna change right now

I did not shatter, did not crumble, didn't die
I have chosen to live
I'm no longer down, I am so much stronger now
I've got so much to give

I know that it's forgiveness that saves me from this fear
I'll get there some day (I'll get there some day)
I'm clear that it's this moment that gets me outta here
And I know the way (And I know the way)

There's a lie in the shadows saying I'm to blame
And it's feeding on my fear, my confusion and my shame
There's a lie in these years I've wasted on this pain
Things are gonna change right now

I did not shatter, did not crumble, didn't die
I have chosen to live
I'm no longer down, I am so much stronger now
I've got so much to give

Not my fault, it's my time (Oh)
Love will live, love will love
Love will live, love will love
My love will live, my love will love, oh

I did not shatter, did not crumble, didn't die
I have chosen to live
I'm no longer down, I am so much stronger now
I've got so much to give

I have chosen to live
