If I Don't Survive (Live)
Oh, I've survived the heartbreaks
And I've survived the mistakes
And I've survived my depression
And I've survived all my discretions
I was not meant to bury my dreams
I was destined for greater things
Love is a language we should all understand
But all we know is hate like the back of our hands
Do our hearts break for the things that break us
When did this world become a place we can't trust
Is my life really worth somebody's insanity
I wanted to grow up and see the woman that I could be
When did we learn to solve our problems with rifles
There's too much hate, and there ain't enough bibles
Never thought today would be my goodbye
So, God, forgive all my sins if I don't survive
Oh, oh
Out of all the days that I wished myself dead
I realized I don't wanna be a memory yet
The right to bear arms ain't a right to take lives
Look at Vegas, Sandy Hook, and look at Columbine
Out of all the pain that we survive
Ain't it a damn shame for someone to take lives
There were so many things I wanted to explore
But I can't be a victim of the world no more
Do our hearts break for the things that break us
When did this world become a place we can't trust
Is my life really worth somebody's insanity
I wanted to grow up and see the woman that I could be
When did we learn to solve our problems with rifles
There's too much hate, and there ain't enough bibles
Never thought today would be my goodbye
So, God, forgive all my sins if I don't survive
Oh, no
So if I'm taken, if it's my time
I wanna tell the world my goodbye
Oh
To the teachers that taught me everything that I know
Thanks for loving me as your own
To the handful of friends that always stuck around
Thanks for being there through the ups and downs
To my family, I can't thank you enough
Know that I will always feel your love
To my lovers, you will always own my heart
To the rest of the world, don't let it fall apart
Do our hearts break for the things that break us
How did I succumb to a cultural virus
Oh, no
Do our hearts break for the things that break us
We say goodbye too soon because of somebody's impulse
Is a life really worth somebody's insanity
We gotta let these kids grow up and see the people they wanna be
We gotta stop solving our problems with rifles
There ain't enough love, and there ain't enough bibles
Don't let today be a child's goodbye
So, God, forgive all the sins of the ones that don't survive
Do our hearts break for the things that break us
We say goodbye too soon because of somebody's impulse
Is a life really worth somebody's insanity
We gotta let these kids grow up and see the people they wanna be
We gotta stop solving our problems with rifles
There ain't enough love, and there ain't enough bibles
Don't let today be a child's goodbye
So, God, forgive all the sins of the ones that don't survive
Oh, no, oh
Oh, none of us make it out of here alive
Don't let the bullets take another life
I was only 21, I was too young to die
And I've survived the mistakes
And I've survived my depression
And I've survived all my discretions
I was not meant to bury my dreams
I was destined for greater things
Love is a language we should all understand
But all we know is hate like the back of our hands
Do our hearts break for the things that break us
When did this world become a place we can't trust
Is my life really worth somebody's insanity
I wanted to grow up and see the woman that I could be
When did we learn to solve our problems with rifles
There's too much hate, and there ain't enough bibles
Never thought today would be my goodbye
So, God, forgive all my sins if I don't survive
Oh, oh
Out of all the days that I wished myself dead
I realized I don't wanna be a memory yet
The right to bear arms ain't a right to take lives
Look at Vegas, Sandy Hook, and look at Columbine
Out of all the pain that we survive
Ain't it a damn shame for someone to take lives

Do our hearts break for the things that break us
When did this world become a place we can't trust
Is my life really worth somebody's insanity

When did we learn to solve our problems with rifles
There's too much hate, and there ain't enough bibles

So, God, forgive all my sins if I don't survive
Oh, no

Oh, no, oh
Oh, none of us make it out of here alive
Don't let the bullets take another life
I was only 21, I was too young to die
