Dying Slowly

[Intro]
Ooh-oh-oh Yeah-ee-yeah Uh

[Verse 1]
When I look to my future I don't have to look that far
Every year of my life can be told in the story of a scar
No-one thought I would live this long
Strangers cry when they see me on the street
These facts of life I already know
Just let me know when it's time to face defeat

[Pre-Chorus]
You can't help me no you won't even try
You just shove meds at me and send me home to die

[Chorus 1]
And I'm dying slowly but a little
Faster than I should be now I'm gonna
Live like I wanna be
Live like I'm dying slowly

[Verse 2]
I try to take life one second, one minute, one day at a time
But it's hard when you feel like you're doing nothing with your short life
I still remember how it felt to slowly slip away
Reteaching my feet to walk and my mind to stay sane

[Pre-Chorus]
You can't help me no you won't even try
You just shove meds at me and send me home to die

[Chorus 2]
And I'm dying slowly but a little
Faster than I should be now I'm gonna
Live like I wanna be
Live like I'm dying slowly
Now it's getting tough to breathe and I
Can't walk without feeling pain now
I live like I have to be
I live like I'm dying slowly

[Bridge]
And my life is not my own
And my hearts been turned to stone
I've got scars, I've been bruised
Had some wins, mostly lose
I'm getting stronger but worse each day

[Chorus 3]
And I'm dying slowly but a little
Faster than I should be now I'm gonna
Live like I wanna be
Live like I have to be
Now it's getting tough to breathe and I
Can't walk without feeling pain now
I live like I need to be
I live like I'm dying slowly

[Outro]
And I'm dying slowly
Yeah I'm dying slowly
And I'm dying slowly
Yeah I'm dying slowly
Yeah!
