Suffer to Live

[Intro]
(…suffer to live)

⸻

[Chorus ]
I’d rather suffer to live, than die,
I’d rather see you today, than wait, for the night.
I’d rather you say hello not goodbye,
I slip into this misery…
at least it beats 6 feet deep.
(suffer to live…)

And lately I’ve been lost in time,
You never really crossed my mind,
I just miss you… missing me.
(Suffer to live…) (live…)

I’d rather suffer to live, than die… (die…)

⸻

[Verse – storytelling tone, confessional delivery]
There’s nothing more guaranteed than death,
Life short, not sweet, best believe and accept.
On cold glass thought I’d leave my last breath,
It hurt to watch you leave, looked out the window while you left.

I remember thinking this can’t be true,
Already missing you before your presence left the room.
That was February, now we’re in June,
I’ve been making moves… stay tuned, theater near you.

But uh, the red carpet can’t stop the blues,
And a sold soul don’t make a shoe-in.
It’s hard to cut ties when you’re the loose end,
In need of movement, don’t need your two cents.

‘Cause pride is where we take our dive,
Why only alone will we let tears slide?
Let ‘em go, you’ll be there when they dry,
Pain the only way to know you’re alive.

⸻

[Chorus – more passion, voice breaking slightly]
I’d rather suffer to live, than die,
I’d rather see you today, than wait, for the night.
I’d rather you say hello not goodbye,
I slip into this misery…
at least it beats 6 feet deep.
(suffer to live…)

And lately I’ve been lost in time,
You never really crossed my mind,
I just miss you… missing me.
(Suffer to live…) (live…)

I’d rather suffer to live, than die… (die…)

⸻

[Bridge]
If this pain’s my proof I’m breathing…
Then let it keep me alive.
I lost you, but I found meaning…
In every tear I cried.

Can’t rewind, can’t redesign,
What fate already signed,
 if sufferins the price of feeling,
Then I’ll pay it every time.

(soft breath pause)

⸻
[chorus – more passion,]
I’d rather suffer to live, than die,
I’d rather see you today, than wait, for the night.
I’d rather you say hello not goodbye,
I slip into this misery…
at least it beats 6 feet deep.
(suffer to live…)

[Outro,echo,fadeout, layered]

(There's nothing more guaranteed then death)

(Life's short) (Not sweet)

(Believe and accept)
