Halley Greg Lyrics - Born to Die This Way

Halley Greg - Born to Die This Way

I won’t be your martyr
I won’t heal the world’s pain
Throwing myself in front of an oncoming train
Sure, I can work harder
But it won’t sustain
I’m putting my mask on first in this crashing plane
I’ve gotta work smarter
Oh or I’ll go insane
How long will we keep smiling and slapping on bandaids?
Oh, I won’t be your martyr
Oh, I wasn’t born to die
I wasn't born to die this way
How we love to idolize
The selfless, the humane
During the sacrifice and washing of hands stained
Watch the bodies pile
All in vain
It’s desolation I spy under your disdain
It's damn near midnight
And I know what’s at stake
But I was given one song to write
And I ain’t waiting on them pearly white gates
Oh, I won't be your martyr
Oh, I wasn't born to die this way
Oh, I won't be your martyr
Oh, I wasn't born to die
I wasn't born to die this way
