I Didn't Come Here to Die

[Verse 1]

All you see is the weight hung 'round my neck

It's in the message you left: I love you to death

I need to get some leg and go shine my shoes

I didn't come here to die

Hoping everything's alright

Hope everything is alright

Alright

[Chorus]

As I drive off into the night alone, I can feel it all rush back

Half afraid that I'll turn back

And when you grow up here

It can feel like there's no place else

It takes so long to get anywhere at all

'Cause it just goes on and...

[Verse 2]

Forget that empty stomach, that broken heart

And just leave here tonight

And hope it's alright

But all you see is the weight hung 'round my neck

I didn't come here today to pull any weight

No, not to pull any weight

Alright

[Chorus]

As I drive off into the sky alone, I can feel it all rush back

But this kid ain't coming back

And I been living in the sticks here for so long now

So come on, come on, I said

I know everything was said

I know everything you said
