treading water

Machine Gun Kelly (mgk)

And, oh, what a life to live
When you re dying for someone to give
To give you their love
To give you their love

Light awake, stargazing
I won t sleep til morning
Echoes of your words saying,
Don t write a song for me
Everything is wrong in me, raised under wings of demons
And even if God s with me, without you I have no reason
This ll be the last time you hear me say sorry
That ll be the last tear
you waste on me crying
I broke this home
And just like my father, I ll die all alon?

And, oh, what a life to live
When you r? dying for someone to give
To give you their love
To give you their love

I m lookin at the kids faces
Sittin in the driveway while I pack up suitcases
I just ruined their holiday
and lies don t die, they grow
And everything you try to hide eventually shows
The beast killed the beauty
The last petal fell from the rose
And I loved you truly, that s why it s hard to let it go
I broke this home
But I ll change for our daughter
so she s not alone

Oh, what a life to live
When you re dying for someone to give
To give you their love, to give you their love
And, oh, what a life to live (Oh, what a life to live)
When you re dying for someone to give
(When you re dying)
To give you their love (To give you their love)
To give you their love (Oh-oh-oh)

I wrote this in Room Three
Spending Christmas in rehabilitation
I got no phone, just a cell
That I m trapped in while my home s vacant
I m an inpatient, but I lost patience
I just broke somethin
But I m fixated on the gossip that I know is happenin
While I m just being left out of the conversation
It s a complicated relationship
that s nobody s business
But I m in this business, face it
I ve been hiding from the ideation
That the public has been ruinin my reputation
And it s crazy, seeing quotations
From a source that somebody curated
Cause for me, y all can feel pure hatred
But just keep our baby out this situation
It s a long road to redemption
And a shorter one to damnation
I know which one is my destination
But the journey doesn t come without the frustrations
Like it doesn t come without the temptations
And failure can lead to an elevation
Cause sometimes you gotta see
What s waiting on the other side
And know your soul s worth savin

And, oh, what a life to live
When you re dying for someone to give
To give you their love
To give you their love
