NO WAY TO LIVE Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Want me to lie to you?
Go and unlight the fuse?
But you can’t fight the truth
Elephant inside the room
[Pre-Chorus]
Darling, let’s be honest for a second, can we?
Friends don’t look at friends the way that you look at me
Darling, let’s be honest for a second, can we?
Are you happy?
I know you can’t be
[Chorus]
‘Cause now you fall asleep
Lying next to him
Only to dream of me
It’s no way to live
Watching a lover’s death
And wondering, “What if?”
‘Cause when you hold your breath
It’s no way to live
[Verse 2]
You’re trying to justify
Jumping from such a height
Honey, you can’t deny
I’d catch you a thousand times
Darling, let’s be honest for a second, can we?
Are you happy?
I know you can’t be
[Chorus]
‘Cause now you fall asleep
Lying next to him
Only to dream of me
It’s no way to live
Watching a lover’s death
And wondering, “What if?”
‘Cause when you hold your breath
It’s no way to live
[Post-Chorus]
Na-na, na-na
Na-na, na-na, na-na-na
Na-na, na-na
Na-na, na-na, na-na-na
[Bridge]
Have you forsaken the times that we had?
Go on and wake them, go tap on the glass
Stuck in a cage with the keys in your hand
Forever is waiting so just take a chance
Have you forsaken the times that we had?
Go on and wake them, go tap on the glass
Stuck in a cage with the keys in your hand
Forever is waiting so just take a chance
And when you fall asleep
Lying next to him
Yeah, do you think of me?
[Chorus]
It’s no way to live
Watching a lover’s death
And wondering “What if?”
‘Cause when you hold your breath
It’s no way to live
[Post-Chorus]
Na-na, na-na, na-na
Na-na, na-na, na-na-na
Na-na, na-na, na-na
Na-na, na-na, na-na-na
[Chorus]
‘Cause now you fall asleep (Na-na, na-na, na-na)
Lying next to him (Na-na, na-na, na-na-na)
Only to dream of me (Na-na, na-na, na-na)
It’s no way to live (Na-na, na-na, na-na-na)
Watching a lover’s death (Na-na, na-na, na-na)
And wondering, “What if?” (Na-na, na-na, na-na-na)
‘Cause when you hold your breath (Na-na, na-na, na-na)
It’s no way to live (Na-na, na-na, na-na-na)

NO WAY TO LIVE Lyrics Meaning
[Verse 1]
This verse talks about someone sensing that the other person is avoiding the truth. They are pointing out the obvious problem between them, something that can’t be ignored, like a huge, unspoken issue in the relationship.
[Pre-Chorus]
Here, the singer wants a real conversation, asking the other person to be honest about their feelings. They notice a special, complicated connection that goes beyond friendship. The singer senses that the other person isn’t truly happy and is struggling to face that reality, wanting them to admit it instead of hiding behind pretenses.
[Chorus]
The chorus shows the pain of being in a situation where the person you care about is with someone else. Even while they sleep next to another partner, their mind dreams of the singer. It’s described as suffocating and heartbreaking, making it clear that this kind of emotional struggle isn’t a healthy way to live.
[Verse 2]
This verse emphasizes how the other person is trying to justify being in a relationship that doesn’t feel right. The singer reassures them that they would always be there for them. They repeat the call for honesty, noticing again that the other person isn’t truly happy and can’t pretend otherwise.
[Chorus]
The chorus repeats the struggle of loving someone who is with someone else. Even though they are physically with another partner, emotionally and in their dreams, they are still thinking of the singer. This constant conflict and longing is exhausting and shows that the situation can’t sustain real happiness.
[Post-Chorus]
This part reflects a release of emotion through simple sounds, almost like letting go, giving a brief pause from the tension and sadness of the lyrics.
[Bridge]
The bridge reflects regret and lost opportunities in the relationship. The singer reminds the other person of the good times they shared and questions if they’ve truly let go of them. There’s a feeling of being trapped emotionally, like having freedom but not taking it. The line about a cage and having keys suggests that the other person can make a choice to reclaim happiness but hasn’t yet. The singer urges them to take a chance on love, while also wondering if, even now, they think about the singer when they are alone with someone else.
[Chorus]
This chorus shows the pain and tension of watching someone you care about live a life that isn’t right for them. It emphasizes that ignoring true feelings and holding back love leads to a suffocating, unhappy existence.
[Post-Chorus]
The simple “na-na” sounds offer a musical break, letting listeners feel the emotion without words, almost like a sigh or reflection of longing.
[Chorus]
This final chorus sums up the heartbreak and longing in a detailed, emotional way. The person the singer cares about is physically with someone else, but mentally and emotionally still attached to the singer. Dreaming about someone else while with another partner creates inner conflict and sadness. It portrays the emotional toll of unfulfilled love and regret, showing how living like this is exhausting and painful. The repetition emphasizes that avoiding truth and holding in feelings is a constant struggle, making life emotionally suffocating and impossible to truly enjoy.
