Colony House – Remembered For lyrics

[Verse 1]
I was born dying, but I was born to be someone
No time to lose, I’m only here for so long
My days have a number, but numbers only matter so much
Right now I’m breathing, I feel like I was born to love, oh

[Chorus]
This is what I want to be remembered for
This is what I want to be remembered for
Everything else – you can set it on fire
I want to still be standing when it falls apart
I want to be a shoulder for the broken heart
It’s what I want to be remembered for

[Verse 2]
I was born trying to prove that I could be someone
I lost that fight before the bell had ever been rung
I threw in the towel, I dropped my fist
Gave up the life I never missed
Love lit the fire now I feel it in my chest

[Chorus]
This is what I want to be remembered for
This is what I want to be remembered for
Everything else – you can set it on fire
I want to still be standing when it falls apart
I want to be a shoulder for the broken heart
It’s what I want to be remembered for

[Bridge]
And I don't have to be somebody
As long as I am with somebody
Who knows that I can be somebody

[Chorus]
This is what I want to be remembered for
This is what I want to be remembered for
Everything else – you can set it on fire
I want to still be standing when it falls apart
I want to be a shoulder for the broken heart
It’s what I want to be remembered for
(This is what I want to be)
This is what I want to be remembered for
This is what I want to be remembered for
Everything else – you can set it on fire, fire
I don’t want to be defined by all these things I’ve done
I’d rather be remembered by the ones I love
This is what I want to be remembered for
(Want to be remembered for)

[Outro]
And when the day is finally here
To leave behind these broken years
I want my family by my side
I hope they’ll know how hard I’ve tried
To live in love
To love in depth
Let wonder take away my breath
To give until there’s nothing more
This what I want to be remembered for
