I succumb to confusion
Thoughts that drag me down
and consume my strength
Then my legs don’t support me
and I indulge in self-pity
Dismissal is so comfortable
Attractive dizziness similar to drugs
When I’m not sober again
My legs don’t support me
And I have to cry
I don’t give up
I never give up - for
Refrain:
Life is too short for that
Life is too beautiful for that
And I don’t feel that old
And I run and I take good care of myself
I take good care of myself
I upset myself and let myself go
Today I only want to misunderstand you
I could say something sweet to you
But alas I don’t want to compromise
I’m the hero of my life
I can give or take
I can hate myself and others
I can miss the last train
And keep you again from sleeping
Refrain
Life is Love
Life is Duty
Life is Opportunity
And that I do not decline
Life is Love
Life is Beautiful
Life is Opportunity
And I don’t let that escape me - for
Refrain
