She don't know that

I'll be on my way

So very soon

She don't know that

The way that I'll be raised

Ain't nothing cool

Unexpected strike

Was made one winter night

I'm due in June

Tell her I'll be fine

Please don't give me time

It's for me to choose

And if they call me on a silver cloud

Asking how I got here

I'll tell them I'm just feeling proud

To even get to stop here

Some never get the chance to choose

When they should even exist at all..

Ah-all

Don't make me live!

Don't make me live!

Don't make me live!

Don't make me live!

Don't make me...

Momma keep asking for grandkids

But I just can't please her

I'm scared of this world, this world

And times feel so icy cold

That it's so hard for our hearts

And our minds to keep warm, keep warm

My bed with a young woman crying

And wondering if fate will bestow her child

File for divorce or just wait for a while

And "a while" becomes life

And you're left with looking back at the smiles

Back up the files, back 'em up now

Back 'em up just in case I meet my child

Just in case I meet my future denials

I can have a few songs, I can sing for a while

In this insane asylum

Full of pointless violence

I look to my own father's guidance

He laughs in my face

When I plead him my case

And says, "You ain't the only one frightened."

Don't make me live!

Don't make me live!

Don't make me live!

Don't make me live!

Don't make me...
