Lyrics This Mortal Coil

This Mortal Coil

I Want To Live

I've gathered all my lifetime memories of you

My lusty sentiments that made life seem true

I'm rather selfish and I mean to be unkind

And you can't imagine what it does to me inside

But where am I, I want to die

I want to live, I want to die

If I were someone I would like to be a fool

No one would know me, and I think that would be cool

I'd paint a picture of my life upon your wall

And use the colors that have made life seem small

But where am I, I want to die

I want to live, I want to die

But you've got a way of understanding me

And I just call it one of your mysteries

But you know you've got to stay close to me, close to me

But where am I, I want to die

But where am I, I want to die

I want to die, I want to give

I want to die, die die die die, die die die die
