I want to live like I did back then

With the stars in my eyes

And the blood from the heart of a pen

Oh, oh, oh

With my hood pulled up

In the light of the night

I was smoke in the bed

Like a ghost white light

On the turnpike

Oh, oh, oh

(Don’t have to live like that, don’t have to live like that)

You didn't lift my world off me

But you said let it go

So I did and now I see

That my friends are gonna leave me

If they don't believe that they can save me

You don't have to live like that

You don't have to live like that

Like a bolt of lightning

You stop, life moves on

Then you wake up frightened

What's going on?

What's going on?

I'm waking up tired (Don’t have to live like that)

No god has appeared (Don’t have to live like that)

I never ever really (Don’t have to live like that)

Found real faith in the fear (Don’t have to live like that)

(Don’t have to live like that, don’t have to live like that)

I'm so sorry for the things I said

But a lot of me died

When a part of her did

Oh, oh, oh

Like a dream, it's a fear

And it won't carry out

I will live an easy nightmare

Plant a seed in your garden of doubt

Oh, oh, oh

(Don’t have to live like that, don’t have to live like that)

You didn't lift my world off me

But you said let it go

So I did, now I see

That my friends are gonna leave me

If they don't believe that they can save me

You don't have to live like that

You don't have to live like that

Like a bolt of lightning

You stop, life moves on

Then you wake up frightened

What's going on?

What's going on?

I'm waking up tired (Don’t have to live like that)

No god has appeared (Don’t have to live like that)

I never ever really (Don’t have to live like that)

Found real faith in the fear (Don’t have to live like that)

Just wash it away (Don’t have to live like that)

Let me wash it away (Don’t have to live like that)

You’ll never ever really (Don’t have to live like that)

Find real faith in the fear (Don’t have to live like that)

(Don’t have to live like that, don’t have to live like that)

(Don’t have to live like that, don’t have, don’t have to live like that)

(Don’t have to live like that, don’t have to live like that)

(Don’t have to live like that, don’t have to live like that)
