[Verse 1]
I wake up in the morning
Tryna understand
Why my lucky number
Keeps slipping through my hand
See my shadow dancing
Must have been a dream
Must have been a wayward
Angel looking out for me
[Chorus]
Sometimes we forget to live
And be loved
'Cause it hurts
To live
Sometimes we forget to live
And be loved
'Cause it hurts
To live
[Verse 2]
Think I heard a whisper
Think I've felt their hands
Saving me from falling
Deeper in despair
Everybody's searching
Tryna make the scene
Wanna be somebody
As long as it ain't me
[Chorus]
Sometimes we forget to live
And be loved
'Cause it hurts
To live
Sometimes we forget to live
And be loved
'Cause it hurts
To live
[Verse 3]
Now my head is spinning
Smell like gasoline
I can drive away but
I can't drive her from my dreams
Promise that I'll love her
Promise that I'll stay
Baby, there's a wild wind
Blowing me away
[Chorus]
Sometimes we forget to live
And be loved
'Cause it hurts
To live
Sometimes we forget to live
And be loved
'Cause it hurts
To live
Sometimes we forget to live
And be loved
'Cause it hurts
To live
Sometimes we forget to live
And be loved
'Cause it hurts
To live
Sometimes we forget to live
And be loved
'Cause it hurts
To live
Sometimes we forget to live
And be loved
'Cause it hurts
To live
Sometimes we forget to live
And be loved
