Still Life - Nanci Griffith

You walked the line all your life

You never thought you’d have to change it

You’re always there to give advice

You never thought you’d have to take it

It’s still life but it’s broken

It’s still life when it’s torn

It’s still life that you’re walking

On and on and on and on and on

You need to change, you don’t know how

Your life could use a reformation

If you could see you as I see you now

I know you’d change the situation

It’s still life but it’s broken

It’s still life when it’s torn

It’s still life that you’re walking

On and on and on and on and on

It’s always someone else’s fault

You’re always right, you’re never wrong

You think that life’s a game but this is real

You think you can just walk away

And leave destruction in your wake

But you’re not walking anywhere near

Is it still life if you are drowning?

Is it still life when you fall?

Is it still life when you can’t carry

On and on and on and on and on?

It’s still life but it’s broken

It’s still life when you’re torn

It’s still life when you’re walking

On and on and on and on and on and on

It’s still life but it’s broken

It’s still life but it’s torn

It’s still life but you’re walking

On and on and on and on and on and on and on

It’s still life
