My Daddy called me on a Friday morning, so sad to tell me just what you'd done
|
You tried so hard to make us all hate you but in the end you was the only one
|
Sick, tired, pissed and wired, you never thought about anyone else.
|
You tried in vain to find something to kill you
|
In the end you had to do it yourself.
|
|
Who's to blame for the loveless marriage, who's to blame for the broken band.
|
You ran from life and all of it's pleasures, your own teeth marks on your own damned hand.
|
Thrown out before the date's expired, you'd rather die than let anyone help,
|
You'd rather die than take a stab at living.
|
Nothing would kill you so you do it yourself.
|
|
Everyone has those times when the night's so long
|
The dead-end life just drags you down
|
You lean back under the microphone
|
And turn your demons into walls of goddamned noise and sound.
|
|
And it's a sorry thing to do to your sweet sister
|
It's a sorry thing to do to your little boy
|
It's a sorry thing to do to the folks who love you
|
Your Mama and Daddy lost their only boy
|
Some should say I should cut you slack, but you worked so hard at unhappiness.
|
Living too hard just couldn't kill you
|
In the end you had to do it yourself.
|
|
Living too hard just couldn't kill you
|
In the end you had to do it yourself.
