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
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 that you feel I stole your joy

Relay to me: I have this, I have this figured out. I promise, I promise
You lied to me, I 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

I wish vultures would come down and circle my body
So then 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 your 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’ve 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 to let it go
