This is an alternative version to the one that appeared on Ivor’s 2018 album, Be Good To Yourself. This new version was recorded back then, but has only now surfaced. In between times a choral arrangement appeared, called Sunrise (with harmonies).

Heavy Heart

最後の通話

song from Kent

The Choosing Kind is a heartfelt pop song about love as a decision, not just a feeling.
With a gentler pace and a more grounded emotional tone, the track reflects loyalty, maturity, and the quiet strength of choosing someone again and again through ordinary days, hard moments, and lasting commitment.

THIS LIFE I AIN’T LIVIN’ 
Wake up every morning to some sad song on the radio
Push myself in the shower, no time for takin’ it slow
I just wanna spend the rest of my days in the sun
Now, the weekends here, got no money for fun

CHORUS
Why isn’t it enough?
When will it be enough?
This life I ain’t livin’ since the beginnin’, oh
Why can’t I be happy?
Why can’t I be satisfied?
This life I ain’t livin’ ain’t very forgivin’

‘Cuz I got a list of regrets longer than a sad song
Doing things right always getting things wrong
The American Dream ain’t cracked up to what it should be
Freedom to do as you please don’t come cheap

Why isn’t it enough?
When will it be enough?
This life I ain’t livin’ since the beginnin’, oh
Why can’t I be happy?
Why can’t I be satisfied?
This life I ain’t livin’ ain’t very forgivin’

This life I ain’t livin’
This life I ain’t livin’
Ain’t very forgivin’
This life, this life I ain’t livin’

Music

‘Cuz when I think of the places that I’ll never see
Other than the places I see on the TV
And all of the loved ones who’ve gone before me
You can’t wrap your arms around a memory

As if I have a horse still left in the race
Up my sleeve there’s still some hidden ace
The older I get the more I come to realize
The wars of this world are meant to pulverize

Now, all that’s left is dust
When will it be enough?
This life I ain’t livin’ since the beginnin’, oh
Why can’t I be happy?
Why can’t I be satisfied?
This life I ain’t livin’ ain’t very forgivin’

This life I ain’t livin’
This life I ain’t livin’
Ain’t very forgivin’
This life, this life I ain’t...

...This life I ain’t livin’
This life I ain’t livin’
Ain’t very forgivin’
This life, this life I ain’t livin’!
