lyrics

Ain’t The Life
By Chris Sanders

There’s an empty spot on my desk where her picture used to sit
There’s a hole in my heart, where her love used to fit
There’s a crack in my mind showing me things I’d rather not see
Memories keep crashing in
The pain in me

This ain’t the life I thought I’d be living
This ain’t the path I thought I was given
This ain’t the house I thought I’d die in
This ain’t the life.

Standing on this stage pouring out my heart
Wondering who I am, but still playing the part
I still don’t know, who I’m gonna be tomorrow
One things for sure
I’m done with all the sorrow

This ain’t the life I thought I’d be living
This ain’t the path I thought I was given
These ain’t the arms I thought I’d cry in
This ain’t the life

This ain’t the path
These ain’t the arms
These ain’t the love
This ain’t the love

Digging deep I found strength I didn’t know I had in me
Surrounded by true love, friends and family
Holding on tight to this new happiness I found
Dusting myself off
I get up off the ground

This ain’t the life I thought I’d be living
This ain’t the path I thought I was given
This ain’t the love I thought I’d fly in
This ain’t the life..

But I’m gonna live it
I’m living it
Yeah, I’m living it
