[Verse 1: John Cooper & Jen Ledger]
In a grave of roses, while the night is closing in
My soul is so cold, but I want to live again
I know [bad word] to me, I wait in misery
I want to fight for this, save me from this darkness
I reach for the light

 [bad word]  Both]
I want to live my life
The choice is mine, I've made up my mind
Now, I'm free to start again
The way I want to live (to live) and breathe (and breathe)
The way I want that's right for me
I may not know nothing else
But I know this, I want to live

[Verse 2: John Cooper & Jen Ledger]
All I ever needed was a reason to believe
You help me hold on, you ignite the fire in me
You [bad word] for me, you know just what I need
Don't make me wait for this, save me from this darkness
I reach for the light

 [bad word]  Both]
I want to live my life
The choice is mine, I've made up my mind
Now, I'm free to start again
The way I want to live (to live) and breathe (and breathe)
The way I want that's right for me
I may not know nothing else
But I know this, I want to live

[Bridge: John Cooper]
I'm breathing, still breathing
But I can't fight this fear alone
This feeling is killing slow
But now I know

 [bad word]  Both]
I want to live my life
The choice is mine, I've made up my mind
Now, I'm free to start again
The way I want to live (to live) and breathe (and breathe)
The way I want that's right for me
I may not know nothing else
But I know this, I want to live
I want to live
I know this, I want to live
