Melissa Etheridge
Love Will Live (Live From Topeka Correctional Facility)
[Verse 1]
Well, I can smell the lies like a filthy net on me
All over my skin
Suffocates my innocence, unwelcome hands on me
All over again
[Pre-Chorus]
But there's a lie in the shadows saying I'm to blame
And it's feeding on my fear, my confusion and my shame
There's a lie in these years I've wasted on this pain
Things are gonna change
Right now
[Chorus]
I did not shatter, did not crumble, didn't die
I have chosen to live
I'm no longer down, I am so much stronger now
I've got so much to give
[Verse 2]
I know that it's forgiveness that saves me from this fear
I'll get there some day
And I'm clear that it's this moment that gets me outta here
And I know the way
[Pre-Chorus]
But there's a lie in the shadows saying I'm to blame
And it's feeding on my fear, my confusion and my shame
There's a lie in these years I've wasted on this pain
Things are gonna change
Right now
[Chorus]
I did not shatter, did not crumble, didn't die
I have chosen to live
I'm no longer down, I am so much stronger now
I've got so much to give
[Post-Chorus]
Not my fault, no
Now it's my time
[Bridge]
Love will live
My love will love
Love will live
My love will love
[Chorus]
I did not shatter, did not crumble, didn't die
I have chosen to live
I'm no longer down, I am so much stronger now
I've got so much to give
[Outro]
I have chosen to live
I have chosen to live
[Spoken]
I love you
Alright, alright
