Live By The Sword Lyrics - Singles - Jill Phillips

I dont see why I dont see what bothers me 

And I dont know why I dont know what wont let me go 

I should have listened to myself when I had it down 

This dose of my own medicine is too big to swallow now 

This is the time when I find whats inside of me 

This is the time when I decide what I believe 

If I wanna be real in this world 

Then I have to realize 

If I am gonna live by the sword 

Then I'm gonna have to die by the sword 

Its easy to be calm when theres no crashing tide 

Its easy to be quiet when its loud outside 

Its easy to be humble when youre glorified 

But now Im out here on my own and screaming from inside 

This is the time when I find whats inside of me 

This is the time when I decide what I believe 

If I wanna be real in this world 

Then I have to realize 

If I am gonna live by the sword 

Then I'm gonna have to die by the sword 

But you stripped me down to basics 

You left my heart exposed 

There is no pride in times like this 

No one said it was easy 

And no one said it was fair 

But no one is happy when it is 

I need your loving arms to carry me 

When I look in the mirror and I dont like what I see 

I know you know what I desire to do 

So help me follow even when its not easy to 

If I wanna be real in this world 

Then I have to realize 

If I am gonna live by the sword 

Then I'm gonna have to die 

If I wanna be real in this world 

Then I have to realize 

If I am gonna live by the sword 

Then I'm gonna have to die 

I'm gonna have to die 

I'm gonna die by the sword
