I wasnt born this way
I been living a lie they say
Somebody brought me to my knees well, I had everything
So tell me would you please, how could I possibly have needed, so much more
The thing I was craving
Was some kind of lady
So I might find a friend
And all the aching in my muscles as they hurt oh wont you put my hands to work to ease my mind
And you realise in a moments grace
You've been unravelling the fabric of your coat
And you pick a line down the wall and trace
Till the end
And when you walk back sorry with a fallen body like you should
No I'm not gonna die this way
Maybe it was was the mould you see
That was knocking the wall in me
That I forgot just what it was that
I had needed to be for all the time id given
Maybe I forgot what livin was now for
And you realise in a moments grace
You might just already be onto something good
And you pick a line on a call and trace
Because you can
And when it comes back heavy
Youll be more than ready like you should
Cause I am not gonna die this way
Through a crack in the road it sprung
A seedling warm and young
Stretching out for the sun
Its almost in, I'm giddy.
For this time I might be winnin
As the moving lights that time of year lay still
And as my body changes pace I seem to know again that I'm not gonna die this way
Oh ill hold my misses in a bed of kisses like I should
'Cause I'm not gonna die this way
