Musical Hope

I Bet My Life

"I Bet My Life" is an Imagine Dragons song that, despite having many depressing lyrics, is still hopeful to a lot of people. And even though a lot of people hate this song because it seems depressing when you first hear it, I thought there might be a few people who would like it. And so I'm posting it, because that's what this book is all about.

I know I took the path that you would never want for me

I know I let you down, didn't I?
So many sleepless nights where you were waiting up on me
Well I'm just a slave unto the night

Now remember when I told you that's the last you'll see of me
Remember when I broke you down to tears
I know I took the path that you would never want for me
I gave you hell through all the years

So I, I bet my life, I bet my life
I bet my life on you
I, I bet my life, I bet my life
I bet my life on you

I've been around the world and never in my wildest dreams
Would I come running home to you
I've told a million lies but now I tell a single truth
There's you in everything I do

Now remember when I told you that's the last you'll see of me
Remember when I broke you down to tears
I know I took the path that you would never want for me
I gave you hell through all the years

So I, I bet my life, I bet my life
I bet my life on you
I, I bet my life, I bet my life
I bet my life on you

Don't tell me that I'm wrong
I've walked that road before
And left you on your own
And please believe them when they say
That it's left for yesterday
And the records that I've played
Please forgive me for all I've done

So I, I bet my life, I bet my life
I bet my life on you
I, I bet my life, I bet my life
I bet my life on you

So I, I bet my life, I bet my life
I bet my life on you
I, I bet my life, I bet my life
I bet my life on you

Those words, well obviously they mean something to the person/people who wrote it. But, personally, they mean something to me too.

But that doesn't matter. The real question is, what do they mean to you? 

Do they mean someone cares about you? 

Do these lyrics mean that you have the courage to ask for forgiveness from a loved one you accidentally hurt?

I wouldn't know. I won't pretend to know your lives for you, because every person's vision on life is unique. Your life, everything you say, do, and think, is unique and original. You are beautiful (or handsome if you prefer) because you are you. Not what anyone else wants you to be.

As long as you are you, then you know what you can and can't do, can and can't feel. You know that you can help yourself, others, or not if you so choose. 

I wish you all luck in discovering what helps you if you don't know yet. Because I do have faith that you all will be able to be helped if you want it.

Good luck, ya idgits. I'm here if anyone needs me. 

Also expect a couple more updates soon, I have some excellent songs I have recently discovered that I can't wait to share with you guys.

See ya soon, I hope. :p
