Life Is For Living

When I counted up my demons

Saw there was one for every day

With the good ones on my shoulder

I drove the other ones away



So if you ever feel neglected

And if you think all is lost

I'll be counting up my demons, yeah

Hoping everything's not lost



When you thought that it was over

You could feel it all around

Everybody's out to get you

Don't you let it drag you down



'Cause if you ever feel neglected

If you think all is lost

I'll be counting up my demons, yeah

Hoping everything's not lost



If you ever feel neglected

If you think that all is lost

I'll be counting up my demons, yeah

Hoping everything's not lost



Singing out oh oh oh yeah

Oh oh yeah

Oh oh yeah

Everything's not lost



So come on yeah

Oh oh yeah

Come on yeah

Everything's not lost



-----------------------



Now I never meant

To do you wrong

That's what I came here to say

But if I was wrong

Then I'm sorry

I don't let it stand in our way



'Cause my head just aches

When I think of

The things that I shouldn't have done

But life is for living

We all know

And I don't wanna live it alone
