Lyrics

[Verse 1]

Seems like forever

Like forever, like forever

Since I tore myself apart

And left my friends in the wake

[Verse 2]

Of countless tears and fading life

When I couldn't seem to grasp the life I lead

And the lives I touch, it's one year on now

[Verse 3]

One year on, one year on

Still I struggle with the same demons

I shed as I laid there lost in my head

Lost in my head

Lost in this goddamn hospital bed

I'm not the same man and I don't dare try

Try to uncover all the darkness I hide

It's like my demons are my lovers

[Verse 4]

But I've got friends (Friends)

By my side

I've got hope (Hope)

In my eyes

And dreams to aspire to

And the whole wide world to watch below

[Verse 5]

And death won't be my lover

I've got so much left to give

And take my life with subtle steps

Instead of not wanting all that is left

[Verse 6]

Instead of trying to take my own life

It's one year on

[Verse 7]

And I'm stronger, I wanna live much longer

Not grow old and bitter

And not jaded

And not hate what life gave me

[Verse 8]

Let the fear wash away

Let the demons blunt their claws

On a life that's full of mistakes

But always searching for much more

[Verse 9]

I won't die defeated

I won't die defeated

I won't die defeated

I won't die

[Verse 10]

'Cause I've got friends (Friends)

By my side

I've got hope (Hope)

In my eyes

And dreams to aspire to

And the whole wide world to watch below

[Verse 11]

And death won't be my lover, oh

I've got so much left to give

And take my life with subtle steps

Instead of not wanting all that is left

[Verse 12]

No, death won't be my lover

I've got so much left to give

I'll take my life with subtle steps

Instead of not wanting all that is left
