8 Lives Left to Go

We do a lot of bad out of loneliness 
Lookin for a stronger hand 
A lot of birds fallen out of the nest
Lookin for a place to land 
I see a lot of birds fallen out of nests
Lookin for a place to land 

Yea we do a lot of pain out of being hurt 
Lookin for a way to cry 
A lot of tears take the place of words 
Shoulda said and we don't know why 
A lot of tears take the place of words 
Never said and we don't know why 

I only wanted it to be like it was before 
When there was no such thing as a closing door 
When there was no such thing as over 
No such hope as gone and love was still 

9 lives with 8 lives left to go 
8 lives left to go 

But there's a point you reach where you hit the street 
Losing's the same as landing on your feet 
And still inside me one more song 
I thought I had but I was wrong 

9 lives with 8 lives left to go 
8 lives left to go 


I've done a lot of death out of guilt and fear 
Lookin for a skin to shed
A lot of talking to no one here 
Who'll remember me when I'm dead 
Who will remember me when I'm dead?

And still inside me one more song 
I thought I had but I was wrong 

9 lives with 8 lives left to go 
9 lives with 8 lives left to go
