Love and Loss Lyrics

She said don't wait for me, cause I'm already lost
And I'll take back what's mine no matter the cost
This life is too short to be filled with conflicting
Ideas I have but they're all contradicting

You need to live before you die, but I am too young to know better than that
And when you're lost and alone it's easier to stay that way, alone and upset

With my hands on the wheel and this weight in my chest, I know this can't be it
You won't be impressed with the way I've been acting, but neither am I. It's like having no wings and still trying to fly

You need to live before you die, but I am too young to know better than that
And when you're lost and alone it's easier to stay that way, alone and upset

These words are deceiving but I still believe in them
I won't stop believing that we can be bigger than
The mistakes that we've made
The nights we're not proud of
The love that we've lost

These days we're all struggling to breathe
Conflicted by what we believe
These are burdens we bear and we must learn to cope
Surviving each day, surviving on hope

You need to live before you die, but I am too young to know better than that
And when you're lost and alone it's easier to stay that way, alone and upset
