How To Live

[Verse 1]
I lived with ghosts inside my head so long
We built this home and I let no one in
Emptied my soul to empty every bottle
I had control 'til I hit the bottom

[Pre-Chorus]
Had to face the pain, had to wrestle doubt
Thought I was lost for good 'til I made it out
Everybody wants to change but never right now
I had to wake up before my time was
Up

[Chorus]
I was dancing 'round the rim
'Til my feet slipped off the edge
Had to drown in Jack and Jim
Just to feel at home inside my skin
Said I'd get a grip
Then I took another sip
Almost drank myself to death
'Til the reaper showed mе how to live
('Til the reapеr showed me how to live)

[Verse 2]
No one will know the wars I fought with sobriety
Yeah, I was so close to killing what's left inside of me

[Pre-Chorus]
I had to face the pain, had to wrestle doubt
I thought I was lost for good 'til I made it out
Everybody wants to change but never right now
I had to wake up before my time ran
Out

[Chorus]
I was dancing 'round the rim
'Til my feet slipped off the edge
Had to drown in Jack and Jim
Just to feel at home inside my skin
Said I'd get a grip
Then I took another sip
Almost drank myself to death
'Til the reaper showed me how to live

[Bridge]
I gotta wake up before my time runs out
Yeah, I gotta wake up before my time runs out

[Chorus]
I was dancing 'round the rim
'Til my feet slipped off the edge
Had to drown in Jack and Jim
Just to feel at home inside my skin
Said I'd get a grip
Then I took another sip
Almost drank myself to death
'Til the reaper showed me how to live
