| I can't escape worldly love, but love is oh, so elusive
There's evidence it exists, but really nothing conclusive
There's the emotions love produces; people feeling happy, mad, sad
but I can't let my greatest love affair be the one I never had
I can't escape worldly death, and death is oh, so around me
and at the end of the show it will have finally found me
There's the emotions death produces; people feeling confused, mad, sad
but I can't let the greatest part of death be the life I never had
One will lift me up, while the other will have me falling
I can't dwell on which is which because each will always be calling
Being afraid to die means being afraid to live
Being afraid to love means being afraid to forgive
From this day on, until my very last breath
I'll live life by chasing love and love life by embracing death |
