Lyrics

YOU GOT LIFE (by Bryan Titus & Jonathan Weed) There’s a paycheck burning a hole in his pocket And a faded photograph inside a gold plated locket Worn with the weight of a hang man’s noose around his neck So he hunts through the neon lit night for distraction Where easy excuses buy cheap satisfactions And a double of bottom shelf whiskey might help him forget That he wanted love but he got life Yeah he wanted so bad to feel it but it cut him down to size He locked up his heart behind the cold steel bars All he wanted was love … but he got life Now the day’s just a chore when the kids are at school And her man is working late again he takes her for a fool Sometimes the ring on her finger is heavy like a ball and chain So she hunts through the false names and fake interactions Where easy excuses make for small satisfactions The chat room rendezvous sometimes they quiet the pain … but not all the way ‘Cuz she wanted love but she got life Yeah she wanted so bad to feel it but it cut her like a knife She locked up her heart behind the cold steel bars … forever Sentenced to yesterday’s endless repeat Locked in this limbo how you yearn to free But heartbreak will hold you like prison cell walls Trapped like a spirit … haunting the halls of your heart ‘Cuz you wanted love but you got life Yeah you want so bad to feel it but it cuts you down inside Don’t lock up your heart behind the cold steel bars All you wanted was love … But you got life
