I’ll Let You Live lyrics
by Taking Back Sunday
[Intro: Adam Lazzara, Fred Mascherino]
The first degree was a riot
We're making sure my lesson's learned
I'm not ashamed but I'm trying
I've come to expect the standards you have set
[Verse 1: Adam Lazzara and Fred Mascherino]
Tell me just how dangerous is second best
You've settled for less and I'm sure you'll settle again
[Chorus: Adam Lazzara, Fred Mascherino]
There's no stopping me
I'm gutting you out
Does this make you feel safe?
There's no stopping this
I'm gunning you down
Does this make you feel safe?
[Verse 2: Adam Lazzara, Fred Mascherino, both]
The closer that I look is just the further that you get already
Stubborn skin thickens in attempt to understand, understand
[Chorus: Adam Lazzara, Fred Mascherino]
There's no stopping me
I'm gutting you out
Does this make you feel safe?
There's no stopping this
I'm gunning you down
Does this make you feel safe?
[Post-Chorus: Adam Lazzara, Fred Mascherino, both]
I got tired (got tired) of waiting (of waiting) when
The guilt subsides, (still waiting) the night begins
I know it's not what you deserve
Now
[Guitar Solo]
[Verse 3: Adam Lazzara, Fred Mascherino]
Came as a gift from a good friend (a good friend)
That disapproves but understands
That you represent and actively encourage all of my worst habits they all are
Proof that we're both capable of the most terrible things, don't test me
[Chorus: Adam Lazzara, Fred Mascherino]
There's no stopping me
I'm gutting you out
Does this make you feel safe?
There's no stopping this
I'm gunning you down
Does this make you feel safe?
[Post-Chorus: Adam Lazzara, Fred Mascherino, both]
You got tired (got tired) of waiting (of waiting) when
The guilt subsides, (still waiting) go up against
I know it's not what you deserve
You got tired (got tired) of waiting (of waiting) when
The guilt subsides, (still waiting) the night begins
I know it's not what you deserve
[Breakdown: Adam Lazzara]
How dangerous is second best?
You've settled for less, you've settled for less
[Outro: Adam Lazzara, Fred Mascherino]
Well I know it's not what you deserve
It’s not what you deserve
I know it’s not what you deserve
I know it’s not what you deserve
