Let Me Die

(album: Phoenix - 2012)

Tossed by the tempest of life
A victim of storms I contrive
It feels like the best is behind
And I can't go back

The eye of the storm satisfies
I watch the chaos from inside
But the wind turns and I realize
That I can't go back, that I can't go back

So I go pressing on through the wind and the waves
If I drown let me go so that you can be saved
It don't matter if people remember my name
I have lived
I have lived
So let me die

I fight against what lies beneath
It's just my will against the sea
I've never been one to give in
Of all the virtues I have lacked
The need to fight has been my anchor
I could never ask for you to save me
No your will could never calm the seas I'm braving

So I go pressing on through the wind and the waves
If I drown let me go so that you can be saved
It don't matter if people remember my name
I have lived
I have lived
So let me die

Let me die
Let me die

So I go pressing on through the winds and the waves
If I drown let me go so that you can be saved
It don't matter if people remember my name
I have lived
I have lived

(So, let me die)
So I go pressing on through the wind and the waves
(Let me die)
If I drown let me go so that you can be saved
(Let me die)
It don't matter if people remember my name
I have lived
I have lived
Let me die
I have lived
So let me die
I have lived
Let me die
