  • I'm not evil
    No matter what you think of me
    I'm just human
    There's a part of you that's just like me

    I have fallen
    I have broken every piece
    Heard heaven calling
    I could only reach this from my knees
    And now I believe

    [Chorus]
    I can't let this life pass me by
    In a blink of an eye it ends
    I can't let my tomorrows decide
    What I am in this life
    It's like committing slow suicide

    It's no secret
    I can't pretend, I can't forget
    What I've done
    Every day I live with the consequences
    I let it beat me, let it kick me, let it throw me to the floor
    Those days are over
    I'm moving forward
    It can't hurt me
    And now I believe

    [Chorus]
    I can't let this life pass me by
    In a blink of an eye it ends
    I can't let my tomorrows decide
    What I am in this life
    It's like committing slow suicide

    So many days I chose to suffer, living a lie
    So many ways I chose to die
    Oh, had to feel less than nothing
    Shame and suffering
    To see with my own eyes
    I wasn't living
    I was committing
    Committing slow suicide
    Committing slow suicide

    And now I believe

    [Chorus]
    I can't let this life pass me by
    In a blink of an eye it ends
    I can't let my tomorrows decide
    What I am in this life
    It's like committing slow suicide
