This Life by Magna-Fi

By Magna-Fi. The fifth track from the 2002 album, Burn Out the Stars.

Lyrics

Now I'm laying down
Tried so long I forgot what I'm trying for
My heart laid before
All that I wanted is absent
In the comfort of your arms
I can shut it all out
Let it grow cold
Let it fall away

Give me a reason, help me
Help me wash it all away
Help me wash it all away

I've grown to hate this life
Everything I can't make right
All the promises that I've failed
Every night and everywhere I am
All the dreams I can't let go
Every time I thought I should've known
Everything I can't make right
Everything that made me hate this life

In these waking hours
Sleeping with apprehension
The heart still beats
The lips still speak
But the words fall dry
Dry and useless like a smile from a friend that you missed

Shut it all out
Let it grow cold
Let it fall away again

Give me a reason, tell me
Tell me everything's gonna be all right
Everything's gonna be all right

There's some things you never knew
Some things you can't get through
There's some things you just don't do
Some things you can't get through
Oh no
Don't want to hate this life
