Lyrics
Life surrounds us with walls
My reflection is my enemy
Ready to break me when I fall
How can I put this subtly?
As desperately me, I’m being desperate with you
As desperately we, prepare only to lose
Why must we live so desperately?
Whiskey drowns our souls
And often makes a mess of me
Numbs my sorrows to the cold
Kiss me quick so breathlessly
As desperately me, I’m being desperate with you
As desperately we, prepare only to lose
Why must we live so desperately?
Why can’t we, live a little easily?
As desperately me, I’m being desperate with you
As desperately we, prepare only to lose
Why can’t we, live a little easy, baby?
Why must we live so desperately?
Life is not about your goals
It’s the pain you’ll take to reach them
Because nothing good consoles
Those who’re never beaten
As desperately me, I’m being desperate with you
As desperately we, prepare only to lose
Why must we live so desperately?
Why can’t we, live a little easily?
As desperately me, I’m being desperate with you
As desperately we, prepare only to lose
Why cant we, live a little easy, baby?
Why must we live so desperately?
Life surrounds us with walls
How can I put this subtly?
