Live to Die
Evans Blue Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
The truth is left to blame for
The damage I have made
I feel, I feel the past escape
The want to know the way to you
You have me in vain
There's nothing left to bleed
And no one left to free
Put me out and
Give me back my believe
Feed me lies
There's nothing left to see
And no one left to be
So put me out and
Give me back my believe
Live to die
Truth
Is just another word
Is just another victim
To the foults
Of you and me
I try to understand you
I try, believe me, I do
And you choose to turn
And walk away
(You walk away)
I lost the fight
There's nothing left to bleed
And no one left to free
Put me out and
Give me back my believe
Feed me lies
There's nothing left to see
And no one left to be
So put me out and
Give me back my believe
Live to die
You live your life
No one hears your screams
We stay alive
Never fall asleep
I lost the fight
There's nothing left to bleed
And no one left to free
Put me out and
Give me back my believe
Feed me lies
There's nothing left to see
And no one left to be
So put me out and
Give me back my believe
Live to die
We live to die
