Live & Let Go Restrung - Hilltop Hoods, Brother Ali, Maverick Sabre

All these days I’ve been broken and hopeless

And I, and I don’t feel like I’m coping, I’m hoping

That I, that I can live and let go

So I can get through it

Yeah, I can live and let go

So I can get through this

You know that pain can

Hang in the air like cigarette smoke, right?

Sometimes trying to live and let go

Still trying to talk with a mouth full of cinnamon though

I’m trying to crawl out the skin I’m in so

I can see through the eyes of a loved one, eyes of an enemy

Rising above sometimes takes a pedigree

That I fear that I don’t possess

And turns hope into hopelessness

But I won’t regress

Won’t let life wear me down

Staring down as the travelers all rush past

Some part their weary brow

And wear a frown like a handlebar moustache

So I live by forgive and forget

Rather that than to live with regret

It’s like living with debt

It’s a weight that’ll curve your spine

Living with hurt is like serving time

All these days I’ve been broken and hopeless

And I, and I don’t feel like I’m coping, I’m hoping

That I, that I can live and let go

So I can get through it

Yeah, I can live and let go

So I can get through this

All these days I’ve been

I pay homage to obstacles

Thin line between honour and horrible

The healing heart knows the eyes must overflow

Tears clear the windows that guard the soul

Now that the water flow, you can scrub the mud out of your land

The blood out of your hands

But you still gotta cleanse the heart that’s trying to beat inside

And it’s only purified by the tears you cry

You can fight all the devils and slay them

But if you’re made hard at the days end then they win

There’s only one force that can solve all this

I want the warm heart that we all start with

Sometimes we march out, ball our fists

I will give it all up for my softness

You will never invade my Holy place

I let the tears dry on my face

All these days I’ve been broken and hopeless

And I, and I don’t feel like I’m coping, I’m hoping

That I, that I can live and let go

So I can get through it

Yeah, I can live and let go

So I can get through this

If these walls could talk they’d sing a sombre song

And if we’re stronger from this road that goes on and on

We wear scarring like armour made of problems from

Void of feeling, time ticking, sitting on a bomb

So disengaged, hope in us fades

Reaching out but the dark taking focus away

This road’s paved by the brave without knowing the way

Don’t stray bro, they didn’t build Rome in a day

And I don’t need to satisfy a ceaseless appetite

Just to feel at peace or gratified

If we don’t reach for the stars, only reach for satellite

We’ll live in faded colour, we dream in black and white

I know our demons walk among us

The struggle’s something that we do, not something to become us

So let go of all the suffering and hurt

Yo, unless we ball it up and we burst

So I can get through this, so I can get through this

So I can get through this, so I can get through this

Yeah, all these days I’ve been broken and hopeless

And I, and I don’t feel like I’m coping, and I’m hoping

That I, that I can live and let go

So I can get through it

So I can live and let go

So I can get through this

So I can get through this, so I can get through this

So I can get through this, so I can get through this

So I can live and let go

So I can get through this

So I can live and let go

So I can get through this
