Remembered For

I was born dying, but I was born to be someone

No time to lose, I’m only here for so long

My days have a number, but numbers only matter so much

Right now I’m breathing, I feel like I was born to love, oh

This is what I want to be remembered for

This is what I want to be remembered for

Everything else – you can set it on fire

I want to still be standing when it falls apart

I want to be a shoulder for the broken heart

It’s what I want to be remembered for

I was born trying to prove that I could be someone

I lost that fight before the bell had ever been rung

I threw in the towel, I dropped my fist

Gave up the life I never missed

Love lit the fire now I feel it in my chest

This is what I want to be remembered for

This is what I want to be remembered for

Everything else – you can set it on fire

I want to still be standing when it falls apart

I want to be a shoulder for the broken heart

It’s what I want to be remembered for

I want to be somebody

As long as I am with somebody

Who knows that I can be somebody

This is what I want to be remembered for

This is what I want to be remembered for

Everything else – you can set it on fire

I want to still be standing when it falls apart

I want to be a shoulder for the broken heart

It’s what I want to be remembered for

This is what I want to be remembered for

This is what I want to be remembered for

Everything else – you can set it on fire, fire

I don’t want to be defined by all these things I’ve done

I’d rather be remembered by the ones I love

This is what I want to be remembered for

And when the day is finally here

To leave behind these broken years

I want my family by my side

I hope they’ll know how hard I’ve tried

To live in love

To love in depth

Let wonder take away my breath

To give until there’s nothing more

This what I want to be remembered for
