lyrics
They found you in a tub full of blood, lying naked
You weren't capable of love, so you faked it.
all the secrets you shoved in the basement
every chance you did nothing to save it
your heart was taken and it left some scars.
the tears you had shed you had kept in jars
death looks nice, when life gets too hard
but everybody's left with the question mark
you had to doubt yourself with little bits of fear
so you drowned yourself, driven insecure
a voice so clear whispered in your ear
this place would be better if you disappeared
the voice was mine, and I apologize
looking down, standing where the bottle lies
Talking to myself, i didn't wanna die.
I should have listened when my parents called tonight
CHORUS
momma told me everything was alright, alright
daddy wiped his tears away and said, son, real men don't cry
Maybe one day we can live the good life, good life
one day we'll laugh about it. One day we'll laugh about it all.
I can only imagine, if it happened
my guardian Angel must be laughin
I'm sorry if you wanted to help, I'm not asking
right now it feels like my life's collapsin
..but I could never take my life away
despite all the days I'd fight my rage
i was afraid of the price i'd pay
to the demons that say suicide's okay
..I tried to save all those memories
I put them away and never pray for your sympathy
singing the blues, like I was raised in Tennessee
Cuz I'm my own worst enemy
it hurts too bad, I can't take no more
Some days I wanna go where the angels soar
but I heard a song by Louis Armstrong,
and I remember feeling worse pain before
September 7th, 1998.
i'm saying thank you, but I'm kinda late
your life was important to my escape
from the greatest mistake that i might've made
you were a good friend, you were a close friend
and you came in my life like you were chosen
to show me how to be myself, we were like bros man
I never want to see another body so frozen
seeing you lie there changed my life and
i couldn't sleep, I stayed up crying
I used to think I wasn't afraid of dying
we all believe that we're made of iron
so I'm glad I had a friend like you to show me true pain
I can't explain, losing you was a true shame
but my hearts been ignited with a new flame
"What a wonderful world" that you changed.
