LYRIC
I've been living a lie, they say
So when it brought me to my knees
Well, I had everything
So tell me, would you, please
How could I possibly have needed so much more?
Was some kind of laboring
So I might find a friend
In all the aching
In my muscles as they hurt
Oh, won't you put my hands to work to ease my mind?
You've been unraveling the fabric of your coat
And you pick a line down the wall and trace
Until the end… [Chorus 1] And when you walk back, sorry
With a folding body
Like you should
No, I am not gonna die this way [Verse 3] Maybe it was the mold, you see
That was knocking the wall in me
And I forgot just what it was that
I had needed to be
For all the time I'd been given
Maybe I'd forgot what living was now for
You might just already be on to something good
And you pick a line down a cord and trace
Because you can… [Chorus 2] And when it comes back heavy
You'll be more than ready
Like you should
'Cause I am not gonna die this way [Bridge] Through a crack in the road, it sprung
The seedling, warm and young
Stretching out for the sun
It's August and I'm grinnin'
For this time I might be winnin'
As the moving lights that time of year lay still
And as my body changes a pace, I seem to know again
That I am not gonna die this way
In a bed of kisses
Like I should
'Cause I am not gonna die this way…
