Life is a gift like fresh cut roses Cut from the branch and brought inside It’s a slow contradiction that’s beauty in a vase When the chords are cut, it’s when we start to die Lately death and life get so confusing I can't tell the difference here tonight Lately every breath feels like I'm kissing death And when time is dead I cease to be alive If you hide yourself deep inside, deep inside In time you've got nothing left to hide There's nothing left inside Tonight, honey, I am gonna break your heart Mine was broken from the start, broken from the start Choice is the only thing we’re given For one will live, another dies One road says hello, the others says goodbye And the roads that you don’t choose begin to die If you hide yourself, deep inside, deep inside In time you’ve got nothing left to hide It dries up inside Tonight, honey, I’m gonna break your heart Mine was broken from the start, broken from the start Broken from the start, broken from the start They won't pay a cent to hear you laughing They might pay a little to hear you cry If you do it long enough, they might even pay attention But they still won't pay respect until you die, die If you hide yourself, deep inside, deep inside In time you’ve got nothing left to hide It’s all dead inside Tonight, honey, I’m going to break your heart Mine was broken from the start, broken from the start
