I've got some deep scars from a little black heart that's miles away 
I sent it packing after I saw what it did and I couldn't believe 
And now my chest hurts from the hole that I dug, it's getting harder to breathe 
I'm really gasping, wishing I could turn back and that would fix everything 
For once... 

My life 
I might as well live it 
Along with the bad times 
Just happy to be living 
So it's my time, I know it sounds selfish 
I'm really not like that 
We live and we die for this 

So now my head hurts and it's only getting worse every time that I think 
I feel like choking every time I have to sing, it's getting harder for me 
And now my stomach hurts, as long as I'm in love it's so hard to leave 
I feel a bad pain moving through my chest and my knees start to shake 
My knees start to shake, it's bringing me down 

This is my life 
I might as well live it 
Along with the bad times 
Just love to be living 
So this is my time 
I know it sounds selfish 
I think I'll have some ice cream 
We live and we die for this 

There's one thing missing every time I step outside 
One thing missing every time I leave and drive 
One thing missing every time I'm far from home 
There's one thing missing every time I leave for months 
One thing missing every time I lose control 
There's one thing missing every time that I stay home 

I've got some deep scars from a little black heart that only make me stronger 
And now I don't sleep, seeing any relief that gives me some perspective 

This is my life 
I might as well live it 
Along with the bad times 
Just glad to be living 
And this is my time 
I might as well share it 
I'll give you all my money 
We live and we die for this
