Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Tuesday night, I was down and alone
Show done, turning off my phone
Who am I when the lights turn on?
Hotel room feels so fucking cold
Got money, but I'm broke
You think I'd sell my soul for this life, soul for this life? No, no, no
[PreChorus]
Here we go again
I'm standing on the edge
Here with my old friend
The voice inside my head
I can see the end
I'm taking one more step
Don't look down, no
[Chorus]
Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait
When I think I'm 'bout to break, break, break, break, break
Oh, the shit that I'd die for
Is the shit I stay alive for
Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait
But there's beauty in the pain, pain, pain, pain, pain
Oh, the shit that I'd die for
Is the shit I stay alive for
[Verse 2]
Friday night, never been so high
Way up, I was on cloud nine
Got my angels by my side and
That top down when we driving
Oh, don't matter where we go
I would sell my soul for this moment but forget it in the morning
[PreChorus]
Here we go again
I'm standing on the edge
Here with my old friend
The voice inside my head
I can see the end
I'm taking one more step
Don't let go, no
[Chorus]
Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait
When I think I'm 'bout to break, break, break, break, break
Oh, the shit that I'd die for
Is the shit I stay alive for
Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait
But there's beauty in the pain, pain, pain, pain, pain
Oh, the shit that I'd die for
Is the shit I stay alive for
[PostChorus]
That's what I'm alive for
Alive for
It's what I'm alive for
Alive for
[Outro]
Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait
There's beauty in the pain, pain, pain, pain, pain
The shit that I would die for
Is the shit that I'm alive for
