Song 24 of my 365 song challenge...

lyrics

I wouldn't fight the things I hide, I couldn't hold on lost in the fire
I couldn't escape the pain I wished for, I wouldn't know you if I tried
But I tried

I have to live with words like knives, I want to live some other lives
I stab at the air, unarmed tonight, I wouldn't care if I tried
But I tried

When will we belong to happiness, When do we say goodbye to this?
When do we try?

Teeth torn apart in a false bargain, walking alone on the same train
Laughing out loud and lucky days, I wouldn't see it if I tried
But I try

When will we belong to happiness, When do we say goodbye to this?
When do we try?

I don't owe a lot to me, I don't own a piece
You may find a lot of fire in me, I don't believe a thing
Yeah, there is fire in me, But you won't find any peace

I wouldn't fight the things I hide, I couldn't hold on lost in the fire
I couldn't escape the pain I wished for, I wouldn't know you if I tried
But I tried
