about
The first song I wrote, never intending for anyone to hear it. Now my debut single.
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
