I Don't Want to Live This Life Lyrics

I feel so foolish now
Like a king who's lost his crown
But my young heart still yearns
And my young heart still burns

But the violence of this world
Is sick and so absurd
And my world is tumbling down
And my head is spinning round

And I don't want to live this life
No I don't want to live this life

I've had better days than this
I've been paralysed with bliss
I've had more than I deserve
But now I've lost my nerve

It's time I went away
It's time I found my place
I've lost so many friends
I'm ashamed to show my face

And I don't want to live this life
No I don't want to live this life

But my young heart still yearns
And my young heart still burns
I feel so foolish now
Like a king who's lost his crown

And I don't want to live this life
No I don't want to live this life
I don't want to live this life

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.
