Lyrics

[Verse 1]
I need to find the frequency that sparks and feeds these little seeds
To grow into something I can control
I need to find a way for me to let you breathe then choke
So I can be the one to save you, you from yourself
[PreChorus]
This is not your life
This is not your life
This is not your life
[Chorus]
This is not your life
This is not the way it should be
This is not the life for you
It's not your life to lose
This is not your life
This is not the way it should be
This is not the life for you
It's not your life to lose
[Verse 2]
I am the don, the only one, the saviour and your god
You will obey me or betray me at your peril
Survive this day but take away one tiny morsel of hope
That I have for you, life can be beautiful
[PreChorus]
This is not your life
This is not your life
This is not your life
[Chorus]
This is not your life
This is not the way it should be
This is not the life for you
It's not your life to lose
This is not your life
This is not the way it should be
This is not the life for you
It's not your life to lose
[Bridge]
This is the anthem of your crossroads
May it blossom, may the soil that it depends on heal your will
I am the question at your crossroads
I make micro-decisions at every crossroads, at every turn
[PreChorus]
Oh, oh
This is not your life
This is not your life
[Chorus]
This is not your life
This is not the way it should be
This is not the life for you
It's not your life to lose
This is not your life
This is not the way it should be
This is not the life for you
It's not your life to lose
[Chorus]
This is not your life
This is not the way it should be
This is not the life for you
It's not your life to lose
This is not your life
This is not the way it should be
This is not the life for you
It's not your life to lose
