How To Live Lyrics by Simple Creatures

Strange Love

2019

[Verse 1: Alex Gaskarth]
Guess I'm sleepin' over after all
Somethin' dark and somethin' beautiful
But I don't wanna tell you how to live
You're lonely and you don't know when to quit
I guess we're not so different after all

[Chorus: Alex Gaskarth]
Never enough, takin' the world off your shoulders
It's never enough, takin' our demons to bed
I don't wanna tell you how to live
I don't wanna tell you how to live your life
But maybe we just don't know when to quit
Maybe we just don't know when to quit the lie, yeah

[Verse 2: Mark Hoppus]
I could fill a lifetime with love that I left behind
It's hard to unravel, our bodies are so intertwined
But maybe there's nothin' left to save
You're just the grass on a stranger's grave
And I'm still ashamed of the wreckage I left in your life

[Chorus: Alex Gaskarth]
Never enough, takin' the world off your shoulders
It's never enough, takin' our demons to bed
I don't wanna tell you how to live
I don't wanna tell you how to live your life
But maybe we just don't know when to quit
Maybe we just don't know when to quit the lie, yeah
(Never enough, takin' the world off your shoulders
It's never enough, takin' our demons to bed)

[Bridge: Alex Gaskarth & Mark Hoppus]
Oh-oh-oh, some days you're crashin' like a wave around me
Oh-oh-oh, some days you pull me underneath and drown me
Guess we're not so perfect after all
Somethin' dark and somethin' beautiful

[Chorus: Alex Gaskarth]
Never enough, takin' the world off your shoulders
(Takin' the world off your shoulders)
It's never enough, takin' our demons to bed
I don't wanna tell you how to live
I don't wanna tell you how to live your life, but
Maybe we just don't know when to quit
Maybe we just don't know when to quit the lie, yeah
Never enough, takin' the world off your shoulders
(Never enough)
It's never enough, takin' our demons to bed
(Takin' our demons to bed)

[Outro: Alex Gaskarth]
Oh-oh-oh, some days you're crashin' like a wave around me
Oh-oh-oh, some days you pull me underneath and drown me
