Wouldn't You Rather

Sell yourself short and buy a world of pain Follow your bliss or pay the price All of these lessons I've learned them so well There is no gain worth the commerce of self Wouldn't you rather Live from the heart A life that will matter To be lived from the start, oh start You wear an albatross around your neck The spoils of war will bring you down Heed my advice, may you hear every word Don't sacrifice meaning for riches that burn Wouldn't you rather Live from the heart A life that will matter To be lived from the start, oh All of these lessons I've learned for myself There is no gain worth the commerce of self A dream left for dead now a nightmare that feels like hell Wouldn't you rather Live from the heart A life that will matter To be lived from the start Wouldn't you rather Live from the heart A life that will matter To be lived from the start I'd rather live from the heart, oh I'd rather live from the heart --- Wouldn't You Rather - Alter Bridge
