Alter Bridge - Wouldn’t You Rather [tekst, tłumaczenie i interpretacja piosenki]

[Verse 1]
Sell yourself short and buy a world of pain
Follow your bliss or pay the price
All of these lessons I've learned them so well
There is no gain worth the commerce of self

[Chorus]
Wouldn't you rather
Live from the heart
A life that will matter
To be lived from the start

[Verse 2]
You wear an albatross around your neck
The spoils of war will bring you down
Heed my advice, may you hear every word
Don't sacrifice meaning for riches that burn

[Chorus]
Wouldn't you rather
Live from the heart
A life that will matter
To be lived from the start

[Bridge]
All of these lessons I've learned for myself
There is no gain worth the commerce of self
A dream left for dead now a nightmare that feels like hell

[Instrumental]

[Chorus]
Wouldn't you rather
Live from the heart
A life that will matter
To be lived from the start

Wouldn't you rather
Live from the heart
A life that will matter
To be lived from the start

[Outro]
I'd rather live from the heart
I'd rather live from the heart
