lyrics

Death of Me
(A. Stanton, S. Rodger)

[Verse 1]
Looking back on the things I’ve learned
The people I’ve loved and the ones I’ve burned
Too many times made a few wrong turns
I didn’t know the power of my own words
I was too quick to speak
Wouldn’t let anyone in to rescue me
I was too blind to see
The truth that would set me free

[Pre-Chorus]
Pride pushes away the ones you love the most
Time stuck on delay you’re not the Holy Ghost
Tried walking on water, failed, and learned to float
And/but now I know

[Chorus]
Life won’t wait for us
Don’t listen to the lies we’re made for love
Even when you got a heavy soul
There’s freedom in the pain of letting go
The victory is all I need
I won’t be the death of me, no

[Verse 2]
I was low now my head held high
Made it through the dark Now I shine that light
I saw a sign, opened up my eyes
Never again will the well run dry
Lookin forward to a new day
I got God on my side in a new way
You say
I got baggage like a suitcase
But I learned to live with it like a roommate

[Chorus]
Life won’t wait for us
Don’t listen to the lies we’re made for love
Even when you got a heavy soul
There’s freedom in the pain of letting go
The victory is all I need
I won’t be the death of me, no

[Bridge]
I’m alive, I’m alive, I’m alive
Won’t be the death of me
I’m alive, I’m alive, I’m alive
That love is all I need
I’m alive, I’m alive, I’m alive
Won’t be the death of me
I’m alive, I’m alive, I’m alive
That love will set you free

[Chorus]
Life won’t wait for us
Don’t listen to the lies we’re made for love
Even when you got a heavy soul
There’s freedom in the pain of letting go
The victory is all I need
I won’t be the death of me, no
