Seems like forever, like forever Since I tore myself apart And left my friends in the wake Of countless tears And fading life When I couldn't seem to grasp the life I lead And the lives I touch It's one year on now, One year on, one year on Still I struggle with the same demons I she'd as I lay there Lost in my head, lost in my head Lost in this goddamn hospital bed...
I'm not the same man and I don't dare try, Try to uncover all the darkness I hide It's like my demons are my lovers...
But I've got friends (friends) By my side, I've got hope (hope) in my eyes And dreams to aspire to And the world to watch below
(Chorus) And death won't be my lover I've got so Much left to give and take my life with subtle steps Instead of not wanting all that is left...
Instead of trying to take my own life
It's one year on And I'm stronger- I want to live much longer Not grow old and bitter And jaded and not hate what life gave me And let the fear wash away
And let the demons blunt their claws On a life that's full of mistakes But always searching for much more.
I won't die defeated. (I won't die defeated)
'Cause I've got friends (Friends) by my side I've got hope in my eyes And dreams to aspire to And the whole wide world to watch below...
(Chorus) And death won't be my lover I've got so Much left to give and take my life with subtle steps instead of not wanting All that is left...
