This song has truly amazing lyrics. And always hits me where it hurts.
Great singer, great voice, great artist, great performer.
Matchbox 20 always underrated- to the max...

I can't take more more, her tears like diamonds on the floor --totally Fantastic...
ALWAYS, ALWAYS, ALWAYS TRULY BEAUTIFUL AND FANTASTIC LYRICS.....
Got to be a poem in there somewhere, I am to find it....-Tyr


edit- ok here is first draft of my first lyrics.
inspired by the song.


Life, I Beg No More


O'why does it hurt so
painful surging flow
I just don't know
I just can't defend it
my weakness, I can't mend it
She stays so strong
Sings her brave-cast song
Ooh, I can't defend it
Death, baby please don’t befriend it
Wish back to hell, I could send it
Ooh, I see her far ashore
Life, I beg no more
Than to not see her implore
That life loves again
And joy becomes her friend
Ooh, I want to be in it
It comes we don't know why
Diamonds tears from weeping sky
This great hurt I can't deny
O'why does it hurt so
painful surging flow
I just don't know
I just can't defend it
my weakness, I can't mend it
She stays so strong
Sings her brave-cast song
Ooh, I can't defend it
A battle we can't win it
Ooh, I see her far ashore
Life, I beg no more
Than to not see her implore
That life loves again
And joy becomes a friend
Love, I want to be in it
This battle we will win it
O'why does it hurt so
painful surging flow
I just don't know
I just can't defend it
my weakness, I can't mend it
She stays so strong
Sings her brave-cast song
Ooh, I can't defend it
Death, baby please don’t befriend it
Wish back to hell, I could send it
Ooh, I see her far ashore
Life, I beg no more
Than to not see her implore
That life loves again
And joy becomes her friend
Ooh, I want to be in it
It comes we don't know why
Diamonds tears from weeping sky
This great hurt I can't deny
O'why does it hurt so
painful surging flow
I just don't know
I just can't defend it
my weakness, I can't mend it
She stays so strong
Sings her brave-cast song
Ooh, I can't defend it
A battle we can't win it
Ooh, I see her far ashore
Life, I beg no more
Than to not see her implore
That life loves again
And joy becomes her friend
Love, I want to be in it
This battle we will win it

Lyrics- Inspired by a truly
magnificent famous song


Note:
Last week a friend asked me why I do not write lyrics.
I decided to give it a shot. This came and sadly it is
the best that I can do,,,
