"I'd Rather Be Living" lyrics

"I'd Rather Be Living"

I'm done sleep walking with a blank stare
I'm waking up from this nightmare
I'm done hanging on to the tightrope
Wanna look down and not feel scared

Got skeletons locked in the closet
Monsters underneath my bed
Fear is the worst kind of liar
You can't believe a word it says

Everybody's gonna feel it sometimes
And if you let it it'll kill you
But what a waste of life

I'd rather be living
Got a million reasons why
I'd rather be living
You can't say I never tried
I might hit a brick wall
End up in a free fall
I'm rolling the dice might lose it all
But I'd rather be living

I'm done getting knocked out the saddle
Yeah I'm back in the battle
I'm done running from my own shadow
Cause it's only a shadow

Even when I'm barely breathing
It's alright
I'm a comeback kind of fighter
Till the day I die

I'd rather be living
Got a million reasons why
I'd rather be living
You can't say I never tried
I might hit a brick wall
End up in a free fall
I'm rolling the dice might lose it all
But I'd rather be living

If it don't take your breath away
If it don't make your heartbeat race
Then you don't know what it feels like to be alive

If it don't leave you screaming wait
And make you wanna pump the breaks
Then you don't know what it feels like to be alive

I'd rather be living
Got a million reasons why
I'd rather be living
You can't say I never tried
I might hit a brick wall
End up in a free fall
I'm rolling the dice might lose it all
But I'd rather be living

If it don't take your breath away
If it don't make your heartbeat race
Then you don't know what it feels like to be alive

If it don't leave you screaming wait
And make you wanna pump the breaks
Then you don't know what it feels
And you don't know what it feels like
