3 Doors Down : The Better Life
Les paroles
1. KRYPTONITE
I took a walk around the world
To ease my troubled mind
I left my body laying somewhere
In the sands of time
But I watched the world float
To the dark side of the moon
I feel there is nothing I can do, yeah
I watched the world float
To the dark side of the moon
After all I knew it had to be
Something to do with you
I really don't mind what happens now and then
As long as you'll be my friend at the end
If I go crazy then will you still
Call me Superman
If I'm alive and well, will you be
There a-holding my hand
I'll keep you by my side
With my superhuman might
Kryptonite
You called me strong, you called me weak,
But still your secrets I will keep
You took for granted all the times
I never let you down
You stumbled in and bumped your head,
If not for me then you'd be dead
I picked you up and put you back
On solid ground
If I go crazy then will you still
Call me Superman
If I'm alive and well,
Will you be there a-holding my hand
I'll keep you by my side
With my superhuman might
Kryptonite
Yeah!!
If I go crazy then will you still
Call me Superman
If I'm alive and well, will you be there
Holding my hand
I'll keep you by my side
With my superhuman might
Kryptonite
If I go crazy then will you still
Call me Superman
If I'm alive and well,
Will you be there a-holding my hand
I'll keep you by my side
With my superhuman might
Kryptonite
Yeah!!
2. LOSER
Breathe in right away,
Nothing seems to fill this place
I need this every time,
Take your lies get off my case
Someday I will find a love
That flows through me like this
This will fall away,
this will fall away
You're getting closer to pushing me
Off of life's little edge
Cause I'm a loser
And sooner or later
You know I'll be dead
You're getting closer,
You're holding the rope,
I'm taking the fall
Cause I'm a loser, I'm a loser, yeah
This is getting old,
I can't break these chains that I hold
My body's growing cold,
There's nothin left of this mind
Or my soul
Addiction needs a pacifier,
The buzz of this poison is taking me higher
This will fall away,
This will fall away
You're getting closer, to pushing me
Off of life's little edge
Cause I'm a loser and sooner or later
You know I'll be dead
You're getting closer,
You're holding the rope and
I'm taking the fall
Cause I'm a loser
You're getting closer, to pushing me
Off of life's little edge
Cause I'm a loser and sooner or later
You know I'll be dead
You're getting closer,
You're holding the rope
And I'm taking the fall
Cause I'm a loser
3. DUCK AND RUN
To this world I'm unimportant
Just because I have nothing to give
So you call this your free country
Tell me why it cost so much to live
Tell me why
This world can turn me down
But I won't turn away, oh no
I won't turn around
All my work and endless measures
Never seem to get me very far
Walk a mile just to move an inch
Now even though I'm trying so damn hard
I'm trying so hard
This world can turn me down but I
Won't turn away
And I won't duck and run, cause
I'm not built that way
When everything is gone there is
Nothing there to fear
This world cannot bring me down
No cause I'm already here, oh no!
I am already here,
Down on my knees
I am already here, on no, I am
Already here
I must have told you a thousand times,
I am not running away
I won't duck and run
I won't duck and run
I won't duck and run
No pass away
This world can turn me down but I
Won't turn away
And I won't duck and run, cause
I'm not built that way
When everything is gone
There is nothing there to fear
This world cannot bring me down
No cause I'm already here
This world can turn me down
But I won't turn away
And I won't duck away
Cause I'm not built that way
When everything is gone there
Is nothing there to fear
This world cannot bring me down
No cause I'm already here
4. NOT ENOUGH
Seven days underpaid
Gotta give it up
Got no time for this life that
I'm livin' up
Shackled down, kicked around,
Now slave to the grind
Need some time for myself
I'll give you anything that you want me to
But I don't have the time so
I'll get up with you
But I don't understand man
You've got to believe
There is too much of you but
There is not enough of me
There is not enough of me
Same old song world moves
On while I'm still in bed
Meet tomorrow today just to
Get ahead
Jump the gun on the run,
I'm the only one
Who thinks that
I'm fallin' behind?
I'll give you anything that
You want me to
But I don't have the time
So I'll get up with you
But I don't understand
Man you've got to believe
There is too much of you
But there is not enough of me
There is not enough of me
I'll give you anything that you want me to
But I don't have the time so I'll
Get up with you
But I don't understand man
You've got to believe
There is too much of you there
Is too much of me
I'll give you anything that you want me to
But I don't have the time so I'll
Get up with you
But I don't understand man
You've got to believe
There is too much of you but there
Is not enough of me
5. BE LIKE THAT
He spends his nights in California, {He spent his whole life being to young,}
Watching the stars on the big screen, {To live the life that's in his dreams,}
Then he lies awake and he wonders, {At night he lies awake and he wonders,}
Why can't that be me
Cause in his life he is filled
With all these good intentions
He's left a lot of things
He'd rather not mention right now
But just before he says goodnight,
He looks up with a little smile at me,
And he says,
If I could be like that,
I would give anything
Just to live one day, in those shoes
If I could be like that,
what would I do,
What would I do
Now and dreams we run
She spends her days up in the north park,
Watching the people as they pass
And all she wants is just
A little piece of this dream,
Is that too much to ask
With a safe home, and a warm bed,
On a quiet little street
All she wants is just that something to
Hold onto, that's all she needs
Yeah!
If I could be like that,
I would give anything
Just to live one day, in those shoes
If I could be like that, what would I do,
What would I do
I'm falling into this, dreams,
We run away
If I could be like that,
I would give anything
Just to live one day, in those shoes
If I could be like that, what would I do,
What would I do
If I could be like that,
I would give anything
Just to live one day, in those shoes
If I could be like that, what would I do,
What would I do
If I could be like that,
I would give anything
Just to live one day, in those shoes
If I could be like that, what would I do,
What would I do
Falling in
I feel I am falling in, to this again.
6. LIFE OF MY OWN
Living risky,
never scared, wander
Closer to the edge
Nothing valued think no fear,
Always wondering why you're here
All your purposes are gone, nothing's
Right and nothing's wrong
Nothing ventured, nothing gained
Feel no sorrow, feel no pain
Kiss me while I'm still alive
Kill me while I kiss the sky
Let me die on my own terms,
Let me live and let me learn
Now I'll follow my own way, and I'll
Live on to another damn day
Freedom carries sacrifice,
Remember when this was my life
Looking forward, not behind
Everybody's got to cross that line
Free me now to give me a place,
Keep me caged and free the beast
Falling faster, time goes by,
Fear is not seen through these eyes
What there was will never be,
Now I'm blind and cannot see
Kiss me while I'm still alive
Kill me while I kiss the sky
Let me die on my own terms, let me
Live and let me learn
Now I'll follow my own way, and I'll
Live on to another damn day
Freedom carries sacrifice,
Remember when this was my life
Kiss me while I'm still alive
Kill me while I kiss the sky
Let me die on my own terms, let me
Live and let me learn
Now I'll follow my own way,
And I'll live on to another damn day
Freedom carries sacrifice,
Remember when this was my life.
7. BETTER LIFE
I'm about to be on the floor again,
Surely you're gonna find me here
I'm about to sleep until the end of time,
Drug I take gonna wake
My fear right now
I'm passing away on to the
Better life
I'm passing away on
To the better
I'm about to see just how far I can fly,
Surely your gonna break my fall
I'm about to run as fast as I can,
Head long into that wall
This time I'm passing away on to the
Better life
I'm passing away on
To the better
On to the better life
On to the better
I'm about to be on the floor again,
Surely you're gonna find me here
I'm about to sleep until the
End of time, drug I take
gonna wake my
fear right now
I'm passing away on to the
Better life
I'm passing away on
To the better
I'm passing away on to the
Better life
I'm passing away on
To the better
8. DOWN POISON
I've dreamed about this,
Sixteen days away
Now you're here,
And my head lays besides your body,
Pillowed under mine
You were poison,
Spinning round my mind
Welcome to my world
She said, do you feel
Alive she said
It's all a bad dream,
Spinning in your lonely head,
Welcome to my world,
She said, separated world,
She said, separated,
Down poison,
Down poison,
Body withered,
Body died,
Time to take away this life
Bad enough to die from one,
Not to mention
Four or five
Welcome to my world
She said, do you feel alive she said
It's all a bad dream,
Spinning in your lonely head
Welcome to my world she said,
Separated world,
She stayed separated
Down poison, down poison
Down poison, down
You weren't there for me, I was there for you
You weren't there for me, I was there for you
You weren't there for me, I was there for you
You weren't there for me, I was there for you
You wouldn't die for me, I've died for you
You wouldn't die for me, I've died for you
You wouldn't die for me, I've already died for you
You wouldn't die, you wouldn't die, you wouldn't die!
Welcome to my world she said, do
you feel alive she said
It's all a bad dream,
Spinning in your lonely head
Welcome to my world she said,
Separated world, she stayed separated
Down poison, down poison
Down poison, down.
9. BY MY SIDE
They blazed a trail I dared to run
They built this world and I have come
I need another, like a brother
For a cryin' shoulder
This could be the last time, you will
Stand by my side
I can feel my soul it's bleeding, will you fly
With me this evening
Sober mind time now is gone, they carved my
Body not of stone
A pretty maze emptiness, I've said the hell
With all the rest
This could be the last time, you will
Stand by my side
I can feel my soul it's bleeding, will you fly
With me tonight
This could be the last time, you will
Stand by my side
I can feel my soul it's bleeding, will you fly
With me this evening.
10. SMACK
Rubber headed motor junky,
Run me down and try to stomp me
Throw my life away, and I'll be worthless
Just like you
Somewhere now a baby's crying,
Down the road his mother's dying
Shot a line and blew her mind
And now she's turning blue
Don't you throw your life away,
Just wait until another day
Don't you throw your life away,
Cause baby I can feel it
Don't you ever compromise it,
Don't you even realize it
Don't throw your life away,
Cause baby I can feel it, now
Trip and fall,
I'm sure you all can tell me
What is on the wall behind the liquor store
Where you get smacked up all the time
Perfect little life you wasted,
Overdosed and that death you tasted
Scared you back into yourself, and now
You walk the line
Don't you throw your life away,
Just wait until another day
Don't you throw your life away,
Cause baby I can feel it
Don't you ever compromise it,
Don't you even realize it
Don't throw your life away,
Cause baby I can feel it, now
Life away
Life away
Life away
11. SO I NEED YOU
If you could step
into my head, tell
Me would you still know me
If you woke up in my bed,
Tell me then would you hold me
Or would you simply let it lie,
Leaving me to wonder why
I can't get you out of this head
I call mine
And I will say
Oh no I can't let you go,
My little girl
Because you're holding up my world,
So I need you
Your imitation of my walk
And the perfect way you talk
It's just a couple of the million things
That I love about you
So I need you
So I need you
So I need you
So I need you
And if I jumped off the Brooklyn Bridge,
Tell me would you still follow me
And if I made you mad today,
Tell me would you love me tomorrow?
Please
Or would you say that you don't care,
And then leave me standing here
Like the fool who is drowning in dispair
And screamin'
Oh no I can't let you go,
My little girl
Because you're holding up my world,
So I need you
Your imitation of my walk
And the perfect way you talk
It's just a couple of the million
Things that I love about you
So I need you
So I need you
So I need you
So I need you
I'm on my own
I'm on my own
I'm on my own
Oh no I can't let you go,
My little girl
Because you're holding up my world,
So I need you
Your imitation of my walk
And the perfect way you talk
It's just a couple of the million things
That I love about you
So I need you
So I need you
So I need you
So I need you!
I took a walk around the world
To ease my troubled mind
I left my body laying somewhere

Kryptonite
You called me strong, you called me weak,
But still your secrets I will keep
You took for granted all the times
I never let you down
You stumbled in and bumped your head,
If not for me then you'd be dead
I picked you up and put you back
On solid ground
If I go crazy then will you still
Call me Superman
If I'm alive and well,
Will you be there a-holding my hand
I'll keep you by my side
With my superhuman might
Kryptonite
Yeah!!

My body's growing cold,
There's nothin left of this mind

Addiction needs a pacifier,
The buzz of this poison is taking me higher
This will fall away,
This will fall away
You're getting closer, to pushing me
Off of life's little edge
Cause I'm a loser and sooner or later
You know I'll be dead
You're getting closer,

And screamin'
Oh no I can't let you go,
My little girl
Because you're holding up my world,
So I need you
Your imitation of my walk
And the perfect way you talk
It's just a couple of the million
Things that I love about you
So I need you
So I need you
So I need you
So I need you
I'm on my own
I'm on my own
I'm on my own
Oh no I can't let you go,
My little girl
Because you're holding up my world,
So I need you
Your imitation of my walk
And the perfect way you talk
It's just a couple of the million things
That I love about you
So I need you
So I need you
So I need you
So I need you!
