Life Of My Own

3 Doors Down · The Better Life [2000]

Living risky, never scared

Wander closer to the edge

Nothing valued, think no fear

Always wondering why you're here

All your purposes are gone

Nothing's right and nothing's wrong

Nothing ventured, nothing gained

Feel no sorrow, feel no pain



Kiss me while I'm still alive

Kill me while I kiss the sky

Let me die on my own terms

Let me live and let me learn

Now I'll follow my own way

And I'll live on to another damn day

Freedom carries sacrifice

Remember when this was my life



Looking forward, not behind

Everybody's got to cross that line

Free me now to give me a place

Keep me caged and free the beast

Falling faster, time goes by

Fear is not seen through these eyes

What there was will never be

Now I'm blind and cannot see



Kiss me while I'm still alive

Kill me while I kiss the sky

Let me die on my own terms

Let me live and let me learn

Now I'll follow my own way

And I'll live on to another damn day

Freedom carries sacrifice

Remember when this was my life



Kiss me while I'm still alive

Kill me while I kiss the sky

Let me die on my own terms

Let me live and let me learn

Now I'll follow my own way

And I'll live on to another damn day

Freedom carries sacrifice

Remember when this was my life
