23 Lyrics by ​eli. (USA)

the way we used to love.

2019

[Chorus]
Thought she could be everything I need
I won't be alive for you to see
Everything that we could be
I won't be alive by 23
I'll change the world and then I'm gonna leave

Thought she could be everything I need
I won't be alive for you to see
Everything that we could be
I won't be alive by 23
I'll change the world and then I'm gonna leave

Thought she could be everything I need
I won't be alive for you to see
Everything that we could be
I won't be alive by 23
I'll change the world and then I'm gonna leave

[Verse 1]
New whip, got the new money
Got the new life, I got everything
Got everything material
But I still feel empty
'Cause none of it means anything
If things won't fulfill you
The only thing worth having
Is the drive to improve, yeah

I swear I have a good heart
I have the best intentions
But when life gets hard
I wanna give up, like I'm not strong enough
But I don't want an easy life
I want a life that makes me better

You showed me all of the evil
The world has to offer
In just three months
Of course I don't blame you, we were so young
You helped me grow
More than I ever could on my own

[Chorus]
Thought she could be everything I need
I won't be alive for you to see
Everything that we could be
I won't be alive by 23
I'll change the world and then I'm gonna leave

Thought she could be everything I need
I won't be alive for you to see
Everything that we could be
I won't be alive by 23
I'll change the world and then I'm gonna leave

[Bridge]
Live or die
I choose suicide
I don't wanna hide
I'll just take my life

Live or die
I choose suicide
I don't wanna hide
I'll just take my life

Live or die
I choose suicide
I don't wanna hide
I'll just take my life

Live or die
I choose suicide
I don't wanna hide
I'll just take my life

Live or die
I choose suicide
I don't wanna hide
I'll just take my life

Live or die
I choose suicide
I don't wanna hide
I'll just take my life

Live or die
I choose suicide
I don't wanna hide
I'll just take my life

Live or die
I choose suicide
I don't wanna hide
I'll just take my life
