Live For This

I don't know where to start, I was in it for the art, and now I'm broken
Gave my soul out willingly, little pieces of my heart, laid bare, sliced open
They have come and gone, the days when I thought I was stronger, now I've lost the brightest part of me
The sun, the moon, and the starlight, gone from my sky

I'm not that broken person my reflection sees, light is still refracted through my memories
When I'm one step from the edge, a voice it whispers to me
Darling, you've a choice to make here, heartbreak or being free
I'm just about to step right when it says
Tell me you don't live for this

Even when I was smart, little threads were pulled apart, I was unwoven
All advice came with a fee, sensibilities that made no sense to me
My faith has weathered through the days, but still I should be strong enough to find the hope I used to see
I'll make it through this day, and I'll ease my pain, or at least I'll try

I'm not that broken person I'm afraid you'll see, there is light and life inside my memories
When I'm one step from the edge, a voice it whispers to me
Darling, you've a choice to make here, heartbreak or being free
I'm just about to step right when it's says
Tell me you don't live for this

I used to hope and pray to get tough, to be numb one day (I used to hope, get down on my knees)
To grow a thicker skin, but now I know (and pray)
That it's better to feel the pain and let the light in (now I know)
Let it in, just feel the pain and let the light in (now I know, now I know, now I know)
Just feel the pain and let the light in (Ooooh)
Let the light, let the light, let the light shine on your skin

What if I am that broken person I'm afraid to be (I'm a little broken)
It's the light and life deep inside of me (It's the light inside of me)
Standing on the edge gives us a chance to see (Inside of me)
There's no choice to make between our hearts and being and free
Step or stay and just breathe
Tell me you don't live for this
