I've got scars up and down from my head to my toes I've lived a long hard life, some said, and it shows From the fist fights, late nights, rock and roll shows You've got to take it to the limit 'cause nobody knows If it's your time don't cry, and never regret Stick the dagger in deep, and twist it again And love will leave you broken hearted with a hole in your chest Like you've been shot-gunned down and left for dead If you really wanna live You've gotta be ready to die Every single love is a murder, You've gotta commit to survive If you really wanna live You've gotta be ready to die Every single love is a murder You've gotta commit to survive With life comes pain, but pain comes love And when you feel it you can heal it, let it murder your heart And there's a poison at the end of every arrow that falls Gotta get knocked off of your feet and crawl Through the thorns and the glass along your path Feel the wrath of the reaper, he will kid you and laugh And when it's all over, with a smile on your face Wipe the blood from your wounds and give it a taste If you really wanna live You've gotta be ready to die Every single love is a murder, You've gotta commit to survive If you really wanna live You've gotta be ready to die Every single love is a murder You've gotta commit to survive It's a tragedy that truly hurts I'll do you, if you do me first Isn't that suicide? But I don't know if you will die But even in death I can't forget you Even in death I'm glad I met you You made life worth living And you made love worth giving So don't panic I'm a helpless romantic So I'm a dead man often And this is a dead man talkin' If you really wanna live You've gotta be ready to die Every single love is a murder, You've gotta commit to survive If you really wanna live You've gotta be ready to die Every single love is a murder You've gotta commit to survive
