Live is the fourth track off on Nelly Furtado’s sixth studio album The Ride. It talks about how Nelly only gets what she needs, and never what she wants. She doesn’t like this because she wants another person but she can never have them because she only wants them and she doesn’t actually need them.
[Verse 1]
Now that I am lying here with imperfection running through my veins
I take the time to breathe it in, it looks good written on my face
I love just like an animal, I dig in harder as you pull away
I love the feeling of you running through my, running through my veins
I breathe it i-i-i-in
[Chorus]
I don't wanna live, I don't wanna live
Getting what I need and never what I want
'Cause I don't need you
But I want you
I don't wanna live, I don't wanna live
Getting what I need and never what I want
'Cause I don't want to
But I want you
[Verse 2]
A glass of water on a sunny day
The cold air as it hits our faces, I can't face it
In December on the sidewalk as we talk
And I just fall out of myself
I just fall out of myself
I can't help it
[Chorus]
I don't wanna live, I don't wanna live
Getting what I need and never what I want
'Cause I don't need you
But I want you
I don't wanna live, I don't wanna live
Getting what I need and never what I want
'Cause I don't want to
But I want you
[Bridge]
And I feel so alive and I can't get back down on the ground
I feel so alive when I go after what I want
And this fever is growing wild and I'm not gonna settle down
And I want what I want
[Chorus]
I don't wanna live, I don't wanna live
Getting what I need and never what I want
'Cause I don't need you
But I want you
I don't wanna live, I don't wanna live
Getting what I need and never what I want
'Cause I don't want to
But I want you
I don't wanna live, I don't wanna live
Getting what I need and never what I want
'Cause I don't need you
But I want you
I don't wanna live, I don't wanna live
Getting what I need and never what I want
'Cause I don't want to
But I want you
But I want you
