My true story/a life to live by Timothy Seth Avett As Darling Lyrics
My true story lies
In the shadows of skies
Filled up with clouds
Shaped like the laughter
Of light-hearted girls
With rain on the inside
Thin silver linings passing me slowly by
My true story changed
When the strangest of obstacles
Rose up before me
Passing through hospital doorways and halls
Snow-white and sterile
Here is the place where you'll check in and where you'll check out
We have a life to live
Let's not be caught dying before we are
These daughters have fallen with pain in their faces
The audience saw it as entertainment
And paid twice as much
But the price isn't money
Misery loves company but this isn't love
We have a life to live
Let's not be caught dying before we are
I did not expect you to be so kind
Fool of the town
I did not expect it to get so bad
Fool of the town
Pawning our love off for less than it's worth
God give me strength on this earth
Keep us from falling into the abyss
God keep the love in a kiss
Surely without it we don't have a clue what to do
My true story ends
But the last page depends
On the love that I leave
The love that I bring
With the fires I start
And those I extinguish
The pain in the heart singing a song made of us
We have a life to live
Let's not be caught dying before we are
Pawning our love off for less than it's worth
God give me strength on this earth
Keep us from falling into the abyss
God keep the love in a kiss
Surely without it we don't have a clue what to do
In the shadows of skies
Filled up with clouds
Shaped like the laughter
Of light-hearted girls
With rain on the inside
Thin silver linings passing me slowly by
My true story changed
When the strangest of obstacles
Rose up before me
Passing through hospital doorways and halls
Snow-white and sterile
Here is the place where you'll check in and where you'll check out
We have a life to live
Let's not be caught dying before we are
These daughters have fallen with pain in their faces
The audience saw it as entertainment
And paid twice as much
But the price isn't money
Misery loves company but this isn't love
We have a life to live
Let's not be caught dying before we are
I did not expect you to be so kind
Fool of the town
I did not expect it to get so bad
Fool of the town
Pawning our love off for less than it's worth
God give me strength on this earth
Keep us from falling into the abyss
God keep the love in a kiss
Surely without it we don't have a clue what to do
My true story ends
But the last page depends
On the love that I leave
The love that I bring
With the fires I start
And those I extinguish
The pain in the heart singing a song made of us
We have a life to live
Let's not be caught dying before we are
Pawning our love off for less than it's worth
God give me strength on this earth
Keep us from falling into the abyss
God keep the love in a kiss
Surely without it we don't have a clue what to do
