Forced Life Lyrics

Images still in my head of you dead
I wish I could take them away instead
I sit in my room alone and cry
Over my loss
Will anything ever be the same
I wish I could imagine you happy
A life of ecstasy that would be
Good enough to stop the pain that
Lingers in my heart
I know I would be content
It's your force life
Doesn't it feel the same to you
I sit and wonder while you ponder
Over pathetic items that bring you happiness
Those things that put a smile to your face
Are the things that kill me inside
I know deep down you have a good heart
But why am I never included in all of this
Take you in, rise you up
Yet my soul stays untouched
It's your forced life
Doesn't it feel the same to you
Nothing ever changes
In your mind
Nothing ever changes in my mind
Stick your hate to me
I'll find a way to break free

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.

The song was created as a reponse to repeated disappointed we felt by recent recordings by many of chimairas favorite bands.

"I sit and wonder while you ponder .Over pathetic items that bring you happiness .Those things that put a smile to your face Are the things that kill me inside I know deep down you have a good heart But why am I never included in all of this "

i think its about how he despise someone for all the things that someone takes\use\loves which would make him happy (such as drugs or whatever) ..

and how come that he isnt enough to make that someone happy instead of all the other bullshits...
