  • I'm sick and tired, ain't got the answer
    And I know, I know, I know, I know it's hard sometimes
    I'm feelin' guilty for feelin' empty
    And I'm never, never, never, never satisfied

    Oh, heaven, help me, please
    I'm beggin' on my knees
    Somebody show me a sign
    Oh, endless days and lonely nights
    And I felt this way a million times (felt this way a million times)

    We, we ain't here for long, oh
    So tell me what the hell we doin' it for?
    'Cause, I, I'm barely holdin' on, oh
    I gotta live my life before it's gone (live my life before it's gone)
    We, we ain't here for long, oh
    So tell me what the hell we doin' it for?
    'Cause, I, I'm barely holdin' on, oh
    I gotta live my life before it's gone (live my life before it's gone)

    I gotta live my life before it's gone

    And all the fakin', this world is so cruel
    And I really, really, really wanna just give up
    I'm tryna stay strong, just gotta carry on
    Will I ever, ever, ever, ever be enough?

    Oh, heaven, help me, please
    I'm beggin' on my knees
    Somebody show me a sign
    Oh, endless days and lonely nights
    And I felt this way a million times (million times, million times)

    We, we ain't here for long, oh
    So tell me what the hell we doin' it for?
    'Cause, I, I'm barely holdin' on, oh
    I gotta live my life before it's gone (live my life before it's gone)

    Why ain't no one there for me?
    'Cause I've been spendin' all my time
    Givin' all of me, 'til I got nothin' left
    But emptiness

    We, we ain't here for long, oh
    So tell me what the hell we doin' it for?
    'Cause, I, I'm barely holdin' on
    I gotta live my life before it's gone (before it's gone, before it's gone)
    'Cause we, we ain't here for long, oh
    So tell me what the hell we doin' it for?
    'Cause, I, I'm barely holdin' on
    I gotta live my life before it's gone (live my life before it's gone)

    (I gotta live my life)
    (I gotta live my life)
    Live my life before it's gone (I gotta live my life)
    Oh, yeah, yeah (I gotta live my life)
    Live my life before it's gone Writer/s: John Nicholas Ealand Morgan, Karen Poole, Nathan Dawe, Neave Applebaum, Sam Harper, William Martyn Lansley
