Icon for Hire – Only Be a Story

[Verse 1]

I think I lost my way again

Anybody listening?

I could really use a friend

Tell me where the water ends

[Pre-Chorus]

And I won't die with all my songs inside

I won't lay me down like that

And I will try to bring my voice to life

So you can tell the truth when I'm gone

[Chorus]

'Cause when I go

I already know

My life will only be a story

All that I've been

All that I've built

All fades away inside a moment

And the pain won't matter

The power won't matter

The shame burns with the glory

When I'm gone

My life will only be a story

[Verse 2]

If I did it all again

What would I do different?

I'm rethinking everything

Wonder how the story ends

[Pre-Chorus]

And I won't die with all my songs inside

I won't lay me down like that

And I will try to bring my voice to life

So you can tell the truth when I'm gone

[Chorus]

'Cause when I go

I already know

My life will only be a story

All that I've been

All that I've built

All fades away inside a moment

And the pain won't matter

The power won't matter

The shame burns with the glory

When I'm gone

My life will only be a story

[Bridge]

And I hope that when I reach the end that I gave you something to remember

When I'm gone

[Chorus]

'Cause when I go

I already know

My life will only be a story

All that I've been

All that I've built

All fades away inside a moment

And the pain won't matter

The power won't matter

The shame burns with the glory

When I'm gone

My life will only be a story
