The song started as a poem written by Omar around the time of his prototype tour. Sometimes, conversations can be too much for Omar. The professional singer takes to transcribing his dwelling thoughts and emotions as his only way of displaying how Omar truly feels.
[Verse 1]
You told me
You won't live too long
And I wish I
Could say something to change
[Pre-Chorus]
How you feel about the way your life is goin'?
And tell me why you'd wanna go through it alone, hey
[Chorus]
Won't you live for me?
Or could I live for you?
There's nothing I won't carry
So you don't have to
[Post-Chorus]
Woah, woah, woah (Ooh)
(Ooh, ooh, ooh)
(Ooh, ooh, ooh)
(Ooh, ooh, ooh)
[Verse 2]
Never meant to hurt you with what I said
Didn't think I deserved you
What you give
The color in my eyes is turnin' red, eh
[Pre-Chorus]
How you feel about the way your life is goin'?
Tell me why you'd wanna go through it alone
[Chorus]
Won't you live for me?
Or could I live for you? Oh
There's nothing I won't carry
So you don't have to, oh
[Post-Chorus]
Woah (Ooh, ooh, ooh)
(Ooh, ooh, ooh)
(Ooh, ooh, ooh)
(Ooh, ooh, ooh)
(Ooh, ooh, ooh)
(Ooh, ooh, ooh)
(Ooh, ooh, ooh)
(Ooh, ooh, ooh)
[Chorus]
Won't you live for me? (Ooh, ooh, ooh)
Or could I live for you? (Ooh, ooh, ooh)
Thеre's nothing I won't carry (Ooh, ooh, ooh)
So you don't have to (Ooh, ooh, ooh)
