lyrics

Take It Or Live It:

Who said I wanted to be alive? You never asked me if I wanted this life. But you did it anyways, just because you could. Am I living out your dreams? “To be, or not to be” never belonged to me. And now I’m trapped inside this skin with your name, your face, your place. What did you want from me? Who did you want me to be? In a world with so much pleasure and so much pain. In a world with so much love and so much hate. We’re all just hostages with Stockholm Syndromes. I am only alive so I don’t make you cry. You’ve given me this life, so why can’t I take it?
