Won’t Live Here Lyrics
Baby, put a bullet in me
Lord knows I'm no good
I'm a man with good intentions, just misunderstood
Every morning when you wake up, turn onto my side
Tell me just what do you see when you look into my eyes
Ohh, oh oh oh
Ohh, oh oh oh
Ohh, oh oh oh
[Verse 2]
Don't give up on me now
I'll still get better
Don't throw in the towel
Don't give up on me yet
I'm still growing into your man, yes I am
I need you to stay with me
Save me from this deep despair, ohh-oh
Without you, I cannot breathe
Where am I if you're not there?
[Chorus]
Won't live here without you
I can't go through the pain
Won't live here without you
Can't go through that again
I know there ain't two ways about it
You know that you should never doubt it
But people make mistakes
Ascend with me up into heaven
And leave behind this Armageddon
I'll take you to a better place
[Bridge]
Yes, I know sometimes I hurt you
Sometimes you hurt me too
Makes me go mad
Every time you hear this music
Take that pain and use it
Use it for you
[Outro]
Yes, I know sometimes I hurt you
Sometimes you hurt me too
Make me go mad
Every time you hear this music
Take that pain and use it
Use it for you
Ohh, ohh
Ooh
Yeah, da-da-da
Da-da

Daniel Caezar said this to Fader in regards to his song: “(this song) is about me trying to be the man my woman needs me to be… I’m not perfect and the fact that I never will be troubles me. Over time it’s become something of a cruel ironic joke and I’m the butt of it: sometimes you’re the transgressor and other times you’re the victim. Now every time I hear the song I feel pain. I’m working on using it as fuel for my advancement.”
