Love Life, Let Go

My life has become a game of building a ladder
To climb over the wall that you built
I can see the colors running down your face
And I still can’t help but feel

'Cause it’s hard enough knowing that you cry
But it’s even harder knowing that I don’t have to ask why
No, I don't have to ask why

'Cause I’ve learned that love is not a game
And your heart is not a toy
And I’m sorry I didn’t learn that sooner
And I’m sorry you feel that I stole your joy

Relay to me
“I have this, I have this figured out
Figured out, I promise, I promise”
You lied to me, I never, never had a chance
I promise, I promise

You taught me how to love life
You taught me how to let it show
You taught me how to love another
You taught me how to let it go

You taught me how to love life
You taught me how to let it show
You taught me how to love another
You taught me how, how to let it go

I wish vultures would come down and circle my body
So I can at least know if I’m living or slowly dying
These dark thoughts surround me
But I refuse to let them inside

I know love will carry me, and I know love will be alright
So I pray you find the same peace
Because I want you to know what it’s like
To not feel that pain inside

This prison is your home, but at least we’re not alone
This prison is our home, but at least we’re not alone
This prison is our home, but at least we’re not alone
This prison is our home, but at least we’re not alone

I’ll bite the hand that feeds me when I find the food supply
It’s the only way of living when there’s a dagger in your side
A room full of living beings with souls that have died
Praying for a miracle that brings miracles to life

But I guess the dead will never shiver
They’ll never be cold enough to wish they were alive
But this chill you left down my spine is all it took
To make me wish I would have died

You taught me how to love life
You taught me how to let it show
You taught me how to love another
You taught me how to let it go

You taught me how to love life
You taught me how to let it show
You taught me how to love another
You taught me how, how to let it go
