I walked down to the parkway today
I looked both ways and all four lanes were busy
I thought I had found my escape
But the last thing that anyone needs is to wake up in an early grave
I went through every bottle, I researched every pill
I felt my breath shorten as my blood began to spill
I screamed oh dear god if you won't solve this than who will?
It keeps on getting colder but never cold enough to kill
And I'm so sorry for what I've done
Forgive my mother for killing your first born son
I'm sure that he meant the world to you
But his broken little heart just couldn't pull through
And I hope you know, that life goes on
It just isn't worth living when you can't even sing one fucking song
So please remember me, when I am gone
Don't stop writing just keep singing, and remember where I went wrong
I bought a .44 magnum, and pressed the barrel to my heart
I thought bullets would solve my problems or make some lovely modern art
But then I thought of how much that I would miss the summer air
Of how I would leave a family behind who was right fucking there
And I hope you know, that life goes on
It just isn't worth living when you can't even sing one fucking song
So please remember me, when I am gone
Don't stop writing just keep singing, and remember where I went wrong
So if you need a reminder that this life goes on
Just read the name on my headstone
and remember where I went wrong
And I hope you know, that life goes on
It just isn't worth living when you can't even sing one fucking song
So please remember me, when I am gone
Don't stop writing just keep singing, and remember where I went wrong
