I’ve got scars up and down from my head to my toes   I’ve lived a long hard life, some said, and it shows   From the fist fights, late nights, rock and roll shows   You’ve got to take it to the limit ‘cause nobody knows   If it’s your time don’t cry, and never regret   Stick the dagger in deep, and twist it again   And love will leave you broken hearted with a hole in your chest   Like you’ve been shot-gunned down and left for dead      If you really wanna live   You’ve gotta be ready to die   Every single love is a murder,   You’ve gotta commit to survive   If you really wanna live   You’ve gotta be ready to die   Every single love is a murder   You’ve gotta commit to survive      With life comes pain, but pain comes love   And when you feel it you can heal it, let it murder your heart   And there’s a poison at the end of every arrow that falls   Gotta get knocked off of your feet and crawl   Through the thorns and the glass along your path   Feel the wrath of the reaper, he will kid you and laugh   And when it’s all over, with a smile on your face   Wipe the blood from your wounds and give it a taste      If you really wanna live   You’ve gotta be ready to die   Every single love is a murder,   You’ve gotta commit to survive   If you really wanna live   You’ve gotta be ready to die   Every single love is a murder   You’ve gotta commit to survive      It’s a tragedy that truly hurts   I’ll do you, if you do me first   Isn’t that suicide?   But I don’t know if you will die   But even in death I can’t forget you   Even in death I’m glad I met you   You made life worth living   And you made love worth giving   So don’t panic    I’m a helpless romantic   So I’m a dead man often   And this is a dead man talkin’      If you really wanna live   You’ve gotta be ready to die   Every single love is a murder,   You’ve gotta commit to survive   If you really wanna live   You’ve gotta be ready to die   Every single love is a murder   You’ve gotta commit to survive
