[Intro]
I wanna hate ya
But I know that isn't right
I used to hold ya
You were my only light

[Verse 1]
When everything gets stripped away
We're left with who we are
A burning boy, a broken girl
Both with bleeding scars

[Chorus]
Life's too short to wait to die
At least I know we know we tried
Life's too short to wait to die
At least I know we know we tried

[Post-Chorus]
If we could only get out alive
If we could only get out alive

[Verse 2]
Preachers, critics, moms, and dads
They said time heals everything
Yet I still pine for my lost love
The one that slipped away
[Chorus]
Life's too short to wait to die
At least I know we know we tried
Life's too short to wait to die
At least I know we know we tried

[Bridge]
On and on, we're ghosts
And on and on, you say it
Ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh
Ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh
Ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh
Ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh

[Chorus]
Life's too short to wait to die
At least I know we know we tried
Life's too short to wait to die
At least I know we know we tried, if we could only get out
Life's too short to wait to die
At least I know we know we tried
Life's too short to wait to die
At least I know we know we tried

[Post-Chorus]
If we could only get out alive
If we could only get out alive
If we could only get out alive
If we could only get out alive
If we could only get out alive
[Outro]
If we could only get out
If we could only get out alive
If we could only get out alive
