LIVE A LITTLE BIT MORE

The best intentions have gone wrong
The strongest bridges have given way
Believing in yourself didn't bear fruit
It's not like tomorrow's a better day
And yet, there's a fire burning in hell somewhere
The hell they call your mind
And it’s telling you just one more time
Don't leave that hero behind
There's a bit of faith somewhere within
Not in your heart, but way deeper
And if it's ashes you're seeing right now
It's because you can't spot the ember.

Everything won't be well
Everything won't be as before
But everything will be a lot better
If you just live a little bit more.
Everything won't shape out perfectly
Everything won't result in more
But everything will be a lot better
If you just live a little bit more.

The sun is setting early, the daylight has passed
And each day is that much longer
Your conscience has weathered a storm and yet
It's still not a minute stronger.
There's a sanctuary where you'll escape
A sanctuary inside your head
Where the voices of guilt and shame won't speak
And you'll make an uneasy bed.
Let that sanctuary fill your insides
Let it be more than an oasis
And if you fill that void with light
You'll probably see a way out of the abyss.

Everything won't be well
Everything won't be as before
But everything will be a lot better
If you just live a little bit more.
Everything won't shape out perfectly
Everything won't result in more
But everything will be a lot better
If you just live a little bit more.

You're looking back and you can see
That it's not them, it's you
You're looking forward and you know this
That you still don't have a clue
Your eyes are losing focus and yet
You have a sight of a different kind
It's making you squint and squirm and feel
Like you're just better off blind
Open your eyes and realize this now
This path is difficult to walk alone
But if you can shake off the ominous
It's still the path that's your chaperone.

Everything won't be well
Everything won't be as before
But everything will be a lot better
If you just live a little bit more.
Everything won't shape out perfectly
Everything won't result in more
But everything will be a lot better
If you just live a little bit more.
