[Verse 1]
I wake up with the rain on my face
Same room, same crack in the glass
Two hundred years in my bones
And I still can't make them pass
My hands know every scar by name
My heart still knocks, old and mean
You say "keep going" like it's easy
But I keep choking on the green
[Pre-Chorus]
I count the pills in my palm
Then I let them fall
I pray for a door
But the walls don't call
[Chorus]
I don't wanna live forever
I don't wanna live forever
Say my name, then let me go
Break this gold and break it slow
I don't wanna live forever
I don't wanna live forever
If I can't die, then hear me now
Cut me loose, cut me down
[Verse 2]
I learned the taste of every dawn
It tastes like metal and snow
People turn to dust so sweet
I stay, and I watch them go
I wore my grief like a royal coat
Heavy on my skin at night
Every mirror keeps my prison
Every pulse says "not yet" tight
[Pre-Chorus]
I count the cracks in the floor
Like a prayer gone wrong
I reach for the edge
But I live too long
[Chorus]
I don't wanna live forever
I don't wanna live forever
Say my name, then let me go
Break this gold and break it slow
I don't wanna live forever
I don't wanna live forever
If I can't die, then hear me now
Cut me loose, cut me down
[Bridge]
If the sky wants a witness
Take these eyes from me
If the night wants a promise
Let it set me free
I am tired of the thunder
Tired of my own skin
Tired of waking up
Just to do it again
[Guitar Solo]
[Final Chorus]
I don't wanna live forever
I don't wanna live forever
Say my name, then let me go
Break this gold and break it slow
I don't wanna live forever
I don't wanna live forever
If I can't die, then hear me now
Cut me loose, cut me down
I don't wanna live forever
I don't wanna live forever
Let the last note fade to black
I won't beg, I won't come back
