[Verse 1]
Woke up mad at the morning
Cursing the light through the blinds
Blamed every ghost in my story
For all the weight on my mind
But the mirror kept on asking
"Who’s the one turning this blue?"
If I keep painting in shadows
Every sky will lose its hue
[Chorus]
Life is precious
Life is what I make it
If I build a prison
I’m the one who has to stay
Life is how I see it
I can bend or I can break it
Nothing has a meaning till I give it one today
I give life meaning
I give life meaning (oh, I do)
[Verse 2]
I’ve worn holes in my footsteps
Pacing the same crooked floor
Waiting on luck like a savior
To kick down somebody’s door
But the truth hums low in my ribcage
Simple and rough
But it’s real
If I call the moment hopeless
That’s the name it’s gonna feel
[Chorus]
Life is precious
Life is what I make it
If I drown in bitterness
I’m drinking my own rain
Life is how I see it
I can soften
I can shake it
Nothing has a meaning till I write it on the pain
I give life meaning
I give life meaning (yeah, I do)
[Bridge]
I can turn this bruise to a lesson
Turn this silence to a song
Turn this long
Dark road
To a place I still belong
So when the world feels empty
And every color’s gone
I’ll pour my heart into the canvas
’Til the picture’s hanging strong
[Chorus]
Life is precious
Life is what I make it
If I make it miserable
I’m choosing every chain
Life is how I see it
I can bless it
I can break it
Nothing has a meaning till I carve it in my name
I give life meaning
I give life meaning (oh, I do)
I give life meaning
’Cause life is how I see it
