[Verse 1]
I wait in line, but nothing ever happens
But I'm dreaming big
For a life to take me over, where nothing really matters
There comes a time
[Pre-Chorus]
Whatever don't kill you makes you stronger
[Chorus]
Hold on, chemicals ain't got you baby
Feeling so strong
In your mouth it tastes much better
Than a loaded gun, everybody's praying for you
We can make it if you like

Kick back, I'll choose the music
All around the colours to lose it
Never wanted your tears in my eyes
Saying oh my god, saying oh my god
[Pre-Chorus]
Whatever don't kill you makes you stronger
[Chorus]
Hold on, chemicals ain't got you baby
Feeling so strong
In your mouth it tastes much better
Than a loaded gun, everybody's praying for you
We can make it if you like
Let the day turn into night and just hold on
[Bridge]
This is the sound of your heart
Beating, beating out of your skin
Don't you know that life keeps going?
[Chorus]
Hold on, chemicals ain't got you baby
Feeling so strong
In your mouth it tastes much better
Than a loaded gun, everybody's praying for you
We can make it if you like
Let the day turn into night and just hold on
