Can I live - Trae4Lyfe

Ever loved a woman Who made you feel tall? Ever loved a man Who made you feel small? If you were a sailor I'd raise the anchor To sail the sea In search of you and me And god conjures currents To break our fragile boats And both the innocent and the damned Are swallowed up in his wake If you were a huntress I'd be your bow For your silver arrows To seek out his heart Ever loved a woman Who made you feel tall? Ever loved a man Who made you feel small? Who are you to complain For lack of understanding? We are all created equal In just one thing alone Alone in your thoughts That consume you through your life They'll take you outwards To the dark edge of time And there's nothing more dangerous Than a man with nothing to lose Nothing to live for And nothing to prove

Well, if you can live with it, I can live without it If you can face your conscience, I can face my pride If you can live with it, I can live without it 'Cause I did the only thing I could do baby, I tried. Can you really take your rings off without feeling kinda dirty Can you really kiss him while you're wearing my name Can you run your fingers all across his body Without missin' me a little and feelin' ashamed? If you can live with it, I can live without it If you can face your conscience, I can face my pride If you can live with it, I can live without it 'Cause I did the only thing I could do baby, I tried...
