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 Committing slow suicide Committing slow suicide
