Unsaid Land

[Verse 1]
I walk in the door, you're already mad
You always complain, you're never happy
It's like you just trying to find a reason to hate me
You say I’m late, like I planned it that way
But I’m just tryin’ to make it through another damn day
You say I’m lazy, I don’t pull my weight
But I’m breaking my back just to keep us straight

[Pre-Chorus]
Do you know, Your words hit hard, it cuts right through
So I chase my peace with a hundred proof

[Chorus]
I drink because of you, not because I want to
You tear me down with every word you choose
I don’t love the bottle, but it gets me through
No, I ain’t proud of what I do
But I drink,I drink because of you

[Verse 2]
You count every flaw like it’s cash in the bank
Keep score of my sins, never say thanks
You twist my words like a knife in my chest
I try to do right, but you only see less
You say I’m numb, like I don’t even care
But you never ask why I’m always out there

[Pre-Chorus]
Do you know, Your words hit hard, it cuts right through
So I chase my peace with a hundred proof

[Chorus]
I drink because of you, not because I want to
You tear me down with every word you choose
I don’t love the bottle, but it gets me through
No, I ain’t proud of what I do
But I drink,I drink because of you

[Bridge]
Maybe one day I’ll walk out that door
Leave the bottle and your battles on the floor
But tonight, I’ll do what I always do
Pour another round… and blame it on you…

[Chorus]
I drink because of you, not because I want to
You tear me down with every word you choose
I don’t love the bottle, but it gets me through
No, I ain’t proud of what I do
But I drink,I drink because of you

[Chorus]
I drink because of you, not because I want to
You tear me down with every word you choose
I don’t love the bottle, but it gets me through
No, I ain’t proud of what I do
But I drink,I drink because of you

[Verse 1]
Woke up with the sun on my face
Another chance, another day to chase
Coffee in hand, dreams in my chest
A little bit broken, but still I'm blessed

[Verse 2]
Bills on the table, dreams on delay
but still breathing means I’m winning today
I’ve worn regret like a heavy coat
Let fear write words I never spoke

[Pre-Chorus]
Ain’t no promise of tomorrow’s sun
No guarantee the race is long
But I know this moment’s mine
And I ain’t gonna let it pass me by

[Chorus]
You only die once, but you live every day
Every choice you make is a step you take
So don’t save your heart for a better time
Or leave your truth buried deep inside
If the clock runs out and my name gets called
I wanna say I gave it all
You only die once, that part’s okay
But you live, you live every day

[Verse 3]
We're Chasing time like it owes us more
While life’s been knocking at the door
I’ve learned pain don’t mean you’re done
It’s proof you loved, proof you’ve run
Scars ain’t chains, they’re roadmaps too
Showing where you made it through

[Verse 4]
You can’t rewind the things you missed
But you can choose what matters next
Don't wait for perfect skies
Or a better year to try
Leave a mark that won’t decay
By how you show up every day

[Pre-Chorus]
Ain’t no promise of tomorrow’s sun
No guarantee the race is long
But I know this moment’s mine
And I ain’t gonna let it pass me by

[Chorus]
You only die once, but you live every day
Every choice you make is a step you take
So don’t save your heart for a better time
Or leave your truth buried deep inside
If the clock runs out and my name gets called
I wanna say I gave it all
You only die once, that part’s okay
But you live, you live..

[Bridge]
So tell them you love them while they can hear
Take the risk, face the fear
Sing out loud, even off-key
Be who you were afraid to be
When it’s over and the lights go low
Let your story be something you know
Wasn’t about how safe you stayed
But how fully you lived every day

[Chorus]
You only die once, but you live every day
Every choice you make is a step you take
So don’t save your heart for a better time
Or leave your truth buried deep inside.
If the clock runs out and my name gets called
I wanna say I gave it all
You only die once, that part’s okay
But you live, you live..

[Final Chorus]
You only die once, but you live every day
In the tears, the laughs, the scars you make
So don’t count the years, count the ways
You showed up when it mattered, anyway
When the final sunset fades to gray
I’ll smile knowing I didn’t wait
You only die once, but here’s the truth I’ll say
I lived… I lived every day

Oh oh…

I lived every day

[Verse 1]
Worked my whole life just to make ends meet,
Every dime I earned barely stayed on my feet.
Now I lay down, and the bills still rise,
Ain’t no mercy for the ones left behind.

[Verse 2]
Ain't no cheap way to lay a man to rest,
Caskets ain't free, put the house to the test.
Got my name on a stone, but the debt ain’t done,
Buried deep—but the cost weighs a ton.

[Pre-Chorus]
I ain't afraid of leavin’,
But I hate what I leave behind.
Ain’t the grief, it’s the payment,
The price of goodbye…

[Chorus]
It cost a lot to live, but it cost even more to die,
(cost even more to die)
Ain’t no discount on sorrow, no free ride to the sky.
(no free ride to the sky)
Left my love, left my name—but the bills still remain,
Tell me how's a man supposed to rest when he's dyin’ in chains?
(dying in chains)

[Verse 3]
My mama cried, but the banker did too,
Said "Sorry, darlin’, but the debt ain't through."
Even heaven got a toll at the pearly gate,
Guess even angels got bills to pay.

[Verse 4]
Said goodbye, thought the chapter was closed,
Till the letters came knockin’ from the ones that I owed.
Ain’t no peace when the dues ain't met,
A grave ain't enough to cover my debt. (cover my debt)

[Pre-Chorus]
I ain't afraid of leavin’,
But I hate what I leave behind.
Ain’t the grief, it’s the payment,
The price of goodbye…

[Chorus]
It cost a lot to live, but it cost even more to die,
(cost even more to die)
Ain’t no discount on sorrow, no free ride to the sky.
(no free ride to the sky)
Left my love, left my name—but the bills still remain,
Tell me how's a man supposed to rest when he's dyin’ in chains…?

[Bridge]
Let my soul fly free, but my name stays chained,
Another family torn, just tryin’ to pay.
If death's supposed to bring some rest,
Tell me why it’s got a price on my chest.

[Chorus]
It cost a lot to live, but it cost even more to die,
(cost even more to die)
Ain’t no discount on sorrow, no free ride to the sky.
(no free ride to the sky)
Left my love, left my name—but the bills still remain,
Tell me how's a man supposed to rest when he's dyin’ in chains?
(dying in chains)

Verse 1]
I still hear your laughter in the empty hall
Your shadow’s on the wall but you ain’t there at all
I reach for your hand in the cold, lonely night
But my fingers close around nothing but time

[Verse 2]
I swore I’d never lose you, swore we’d never fade
But love don’t make promises death won’t take away
Now I’m left chasing echoes, holding on too tight
To the pieces of a love that vanished in the light…

[Pre-Chorus]
I ain't looking for a miracle
I ain't begging to forget
I just want one more yesterday
Before the sun set

[Chorus]
Tell me how to breathe when the air ain't right
Tell me how to stand when my soul ain't light
Every clock keeps ticking, but it don’t rewind
And love ain't a memory—I need you alive

I need you alive

[Verse 3]
I wake to the silence, like a weight on my chest
No whispered good morning, no lips to confess
The coffee's gone cold, the bed's too wide
There ain't no cure for the hole left inside

[Verse 4]
Tried drowning in whiskey, tried running away
But grief's got a grip that don’t let me escape
So I sit with the hurt, let it play its sad tune
Cause love ain't supposed to end this soon…

[Bridge]
If heaven's got a window
I hope you're looking down
Cause I'm lost in this empty world
Just screaming out your sound

[Chorus]
Tell me how to breathe when the air ain't right
Tell me how to stand when my soul ain't light
Every clock keeps ticking, but it don’t rewind
And love ain't a memory—

[Chorus]
Tell me how to breathe when the air ain't right
Tell me how to stand when my soul ain't light
Every clock keeps ticking, but it don’t rewind
And love ain't a memory—

I need you alive
