When You Live

All the lost kisses and runaway tears

Can't fix what your good mom and dad

Have been saving in pictures for all of these years and it's sad

Everything fades to black, yeah

All your cellophane friends play their monologue games

And mock everything that I am

But I don't let it phase me 'cause they're all the same

Don't be one of them

'Cause the lights will go down on your show

And as the scenes roll by

There's something I wanted to say to you

When you live, live with your soul

Not with your time

When you love, love with your heart

Not with your mind

When you wanna be something the world can't define

Open up your eyes

Accidents happen then confidence fails

But that's not what I'm trying to say

There's this look in your eyes

That's been killing me here for days

So as the night drags on

There's this I've been meaning to say to you

When you live, live with your soul

Not with your time

When you love, love with your heart

Not with your mind

When you wanna be something the world can't define

Open up your eyes

You can't fake it here, you can't fake it here

You can try all you want but you're breaking here

You can laugh it off, tell your friends I'm soft

You can cry, you can scream but I'll brush it off

You're not listening, you're not listening

To anything I'm trying to say

When you live, live with your soul

Not with your time

When you love, love with your heart

Not with your mind

When you wanna be something the world can't define

Open up

When you live, live with your soul

Not with your time

When you love, love with your heart

Not with your mind

When you wanna be something the world can't define

You can't fake it here

Your eyes

Open up your eyes
