Song: Life For Rent (Album Version) Lyrics
I haven't ever really found a place that I call home
I never stick around long enough to make it
I apologize that once again I'm not in love
It's not as if I dont mind your heart ain't exactly breakin'
It's just a thought, only a thought
If my life is for rent and I don't learn to buy
Well, I deserve nothing more than I get
Cuz nothin I have is truly mine
I always thought I would love to live by the sea,
to travel the world alone and live more simply
I have no idea what's happened to that dream
cuz there's really nothing left here to stop me.
Its just a thought, only a thought
but if my life is for rent
and I don't learn to buy
I deserve nothing more than I get
cuz nothin I have is truly mine
But if my life is for rent
and I don't learn to buy
I deserve nothing more than I get
Cuz nothin I have is truly mine
While my heart is a shield and I won't let it down
While I am so afraid to fail so I won't even try
Well how can I say I'm alive.
But if my life is for rent and I don't learn to buy.....
Well I deserve nothing more than I get
Cuz nothing I have is truly mine
Well if my life is for rent and I don't lean to buy
Well I deserve nothing more than I get
Cuz nothing I have is truly mine
Cuz nothin I have is truly mine
Cuz nothin I have is truly mine
Cuz nothin I have is truly mine
Truly has all this choice and travel and education and freedom left us undecided , is this indecision the root of our unhappiness …
Some more Dido lyrics and background from Wikipedia..
I will go down with this ship
And I won't put my hands up and surrender
There will be no white flag above my door
I'm in love and always will be.
o White Flag
White Flag – about a past relationship. Dido "regretted writing it" to begin with because of the further problems it caused with that person but now enjoys performing the song.( hehe ..i can imagine !!)
I haven't ever really found a place that I call home
I never stick around quite long enough to make it
I apologize that once again I'm not in love
But it's not as if I mind
that your heart ain't exactly breaking.
o Life For Rent
Life for Rent – written to reflect how she saw her life at the time.
If you're cold I'll keep you warm
If you're low just hold on
Cause I will be your safety
Oh don't leave home.
o Don't Leave Home
Don't Leave Home – written about the difficulties of drug addiction and made as a demo during the creation of her previous album.
I've still got sand in my shoes
And I can't shake the thought of you
I should get on, forget you
Why, why would I want to
I know we said goodbye
Anything else would've been confused but I wanna see you again.
o Sand In My Shoes
Oh I am what I am
I'll do what I want
But I can't hide
I won't go
I won't sleep
I can't breathe
Until you're resting here with me
I won't leave
I can't hide
I cannot be
Until you're resting here with me.
o Here With Me
If you were a king up there on your throne
would you be wise enough to let me go?
For this queen you think you own
Wants to be a hunter again
wants to see the world alone again
to take a chance on life again
so let me go.
o Hunter
My tea's gone cold, I'm wondering why I got out of bed at all
the morning rain clouds up my window and I can't see at all
And even if I could it'd all be grey, but your picture on my wall
it reminds me that it's not so bad
it's not so bad
o Thank You
If you gave me just a coin for every time we say goodbye
Well I'd be rich beyond my dreams, I'm sorry for my weary life
I know I'm not perfect but I can smile
and I hope that you see this heart behind my tired eyes.
o I'm No Angel
Why don't I watch the ocean?
My lover's gone.
No earthly ships will ever bring him home again
bring him home again...
o My Lovers Gone
