Lyrics for I Want To Live

I've gathered all my lifetime memories of you My lusty sentiments that made life seem true I'm rather selfish and I mean to be unkind And you can't imagine what it does to me inside But where am I, I want to die I want to live, I want to die If I were someone I would like to be a fool No one would know me, and I think that would be cool I'd paint a picture of my life upon your wall And use the colors that have made life seem small But where am I, I want to die I want to live, I want to die But you've got a way of understanding me And I just call it one of your mysteries But you know you've got to stay close to me, close to me But where am I, I want to die But where am I, I want to die I want to die, I want to give I want to die, die die die die, die die die die
