The High Life

Just so you know
if it were up to me
I'd be living the high life

But for now I'm taking steps
in the wrong direction to just get by
so take it or leave it

This one's for you,
you know who you are
Please leave well enough alone
just 'cause I'm not smiling
doesn't mean I'm about to go
don't pick me up
I'm fine right where I am

I know i'll leave this town tonight
and fall asleep to the sunrise
'cause I've got to change my life
What did this to you?

I don't need to be told twice
I'd be willing to give my life
just to say goodbye
What did this to you?

Please leave well enough alone
just cause I'm not smiling
doesn't mean I'm about to go
don't pick me up
I'm fine right where I am

So many things could have made me this way
I don't regret a single day
This is what I was made for, was made for, was made for
just like you did before me
I will follow suit
I plan on being everything you were
then what are you?
I know you didn't live long
I cannot promise I will too
I'm saying everything I can
I sing tribute

I know I'll leave this town tonight
and fall asleep to the sunrise
'cause I've got to change my life
What did this to you?

I don't need to be told twice
I'd be willing to give my life
just to say goodbye
What did this to you?

I will carry on your legacy
you made me who I am today
I remember the first time I heard you
it changed my life
