Spare Words

One time to Say it ALL

You only live once?

Well by now we must all be cats

Nine lives to spare

 

Spare change in our pockets spend it on

The drinks, the dumb, the downfall

Or spend it on

A book, a journal, a pen

 

You got anything to spare?

Or do you really just have 

A whole lot to lose

Welcome to  you

 

No one can say it like you

But do?

Now we all know that in doing...

you only live once

 

But say something, write something?

You live forever

So what do you have to lose?

What words do you have to spare?

 

It's you 

A pen a page a piece

or Them

A drink, a drug, a downfall

 

You can lose a word

But lose you life

Nah I'd rather live forever in words than

Only live once
