Lyrics

[Verse 1] I wasn't born this way I've been living a lie, they say So when it brought me to my knees Well, I had everything So tell me, would you, please How could I possibly have needed so much more? [Verse 2] The thing I was cravin' then Was some kind of laborin' So I might find a friend In all the achin' In my muscles as they hurt Oh, won't you put my hands to work to ease my mind? [Chorus] And you realize in a moment's grace You've been unraveling the fabric of your coat And you pick a line down the wall and trace Until the end And when you walk back sorry with a folding body Like you should No, I am not gonna die this way [Verse 3] Maybe it was the mold, you see That was knockin' the wall in me And I forgot just what it was that I had needed to be For all the time I'd given Maybe I'd forgot what livin' was now for [Chorus] And, you realize in a moment's grace You might just already be on to something good And you pick a line down a cord and trace Because you can And when it comes back heavy, you'll be more than ready Like you should 'Cause I am not gonna die this way [Bridge] Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh Ooh, ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh Ooh [Verse 3] Through a crack in the road, it sprung The seedling, warm and young Stretching out for the sun [Chorus] It's August and I'm grinnin' For this time I might be winnin' As the movin' lights that time of year lay still And as my body changes a pace, I seem to know again That I am not gonna die this way Oh, I'll hold my missus in a bed of kisses Like I should 'Cause I am not gonna die this way
