Damone Lyrics

When You Live

all the lost kisses
and runaway tears
can't fix what your good mom & dad
have been saving in pictures for all of these years
it's sad
everything fades to black yeah

all your celophane friends
play their monologue games
and mock everything that I am
but I don't let it phase me
'cause they're all the same
don't be one of them

'cause the lights will go down on your show (aaaah)
and as the seamen row by there's something I wanted to say to you

when you live
live with your soul
not with your time
when you love
love with your heart
not with your mind
when you wanna be something the world can define
open up your eyes

accidents happen
then confidence fails
but that's not what I'm trying to say
there's this look in your eyes
that's been killing me here for days (aaaah)
so as the night drags on
there's something I've been meaning to say to you

when you live
live with your soul
not with your time
when you love
love with your heart
not with your mind
when you wanna be something the world can define
open up your eyes

you can fake it here
you can fake it here
you can try all you want
but you're breaking here

you can laugh it off
tell your friends i'm soft
you can cry
you can scream
but I'll brush it off
you're not listening
you're not listening
to anything that I'm trying to say

when you live
live with your soul
not with your time
when you love
love with your heart
not with your mind
when you wanna be something the world can define
open up your eyes
[x2]

you can fake it here
open up your eyes
open up your eyes
