[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]
(Oh-oh)
This is what I wanna be remembered for
This is what I wanna be remembered for
Everything else – you can set it on fire
(Oh-oh)
I wanna still be standing when it falls apart
I wanna be a shoulder for the broken heart
It's what I wanna 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]
(Oh-oh)
This is what I wanna be remembered for (Oh-oh)
This is what I wanna be remembered for
Everything else – you can set it on fire
(Oh-oh)
I wanna still be standing when it falls apart (Oh-oh)
I wanna be a shoulder for the broken heart
It's what I wanna 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 wanna be remembered for
This is what I wanna be remembered for
Everything else – you can set it on fire (Set it, set it, set it on)
(Oh-oh)
I wanna still be standing when it falls apart (Oh-oh)
I wanna be a shoulder for the broken heart
It's what I wanna be remembered for
(This is what I wanna be, oh-oh)
(This is what I, this is what I wanna be)
This is what I wanna be remembered for
(This is what I, this is what I wanna be)
This is what I wanna be remembered for
(This is what I, this is what I wanna be)
Everything else – you can set it on fire, fire
(This is what I wanna be remembered for)
(This is what I, this is what I wanna be)
Don't wanna be defined by all these things I've done
(This is what I, this is what I wanna be)
I'd rather be remembered by the ones I love
(This is what I, this is what I wanna be)
This is what I wanna be remembered for
(This is what I wanna 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
