I’d Rather Be Living

[Verse 1]
I'm done sleepwalking with a blank stare
I'm waking up from this nightmare
I'm done hanging on to the tightrope
Wanna look down and I feel scared
Got skeletons locked in the closet
And monsters underneath my bed
Fear is the worst kind of liar
You can't believe a word he says

[Pre-Chorus 1]
Everybody's gonna feel it sometimes
But if you let it in it'll kill you
But what a waste of life

[Chorus]
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 freefall
I'm rolling the dice, might lose it all
But I'd rather be living, oh-oh
Oh-oh

[Verse 2]
I'm done giving up at the saddle
Yeah, I'm back in the battle
Yeah I'm done running from my own shadow
'Cause it's only a shadow

[Pre-Chorus 2]
Even when I'm barely breathing, it's alright
I'm a comeback kind of fighter
'Till the day I die

[Chorus]
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 freefall
I'm rolling the dice, might lose it all
But I'd rather be living, oh-oh
Oh-oh

[Bridge]
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 brakes
Then you don't know what it feels like to be alive

[Chorus]
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 freefall
I'm rolling the dice, might lose it all
But I'd rather be living, oh-oh
Oh-oh

[Outro]
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 brakes
Then you don't know what it feels like
Then you don't know what it feels like
