My Life (feat. Matilda Marigolds)

I should've shot first The second that I saw it coming I made this thing worse, yes, I did I coulda known more And when I choose to bring it forward I hope we return back to before 'Cause this is my life And only I can live it for me One day at a time, I lose this pain This is my strife And I can't seem to break the habit Every time I help myself I hurt myself again And it goes Ooh, ooh, ooh Something real is takin' over Ooh, ooh, ooh And I can't help but help myself And I-I-I, I don't wanna stop this feeling I, I, I, I can choose to let it die I should've shot first For all the babies that he could've had He picked her, yes, he did I could've done more 'Cause when I see her cross the corridor She's not sure But this is her life And only she can live it for her One day at a time, I'm waiting here But this is my strife And I can't seem to break the habit Every time I help myself I hurt myself again And it goes Ooh, ooh, ooh Something real is takin' over Ooh, ooh, ooh And I can't help but help myself And I-I-I, I don't wanna stop this feeling I, I, I, I can choose to let it die I can choose to let myself believe in What I have When do I get a second chance? That precious, longful, blissful evening When I sit down, you're already leavin' Now I see (now I see) A few things clearly So here's the truth spoke so sincerely I should've shot first When all I wanted was someone to take off their smile And my shirt I coulda got hurt When he told me I was beautiful Lazy pins and needles What's it worth? But this is His, her (my life) I'm thinkin' of the ways That I could turn away and wound him just the same But this is his strife And either way the outcome stings And every time I help myself I hurt myself again And it goes Ooh, ooh, ooh Something real is takin' over Ooh, ooh, ooh And I can't help but help myself And I-I-I, I don't wanna stop this feeling I-I-I, I don't wanna stop this feeling I-I-I, I don't wanna stop this feeling I, I, I, I can choose to let it die
