Lyrics

My legs are dangling off the edge
The bottom of the bottle is my only friend
I think I'll slit my wrists again
And I'm gone, gone, gone, gone
My legs are dangling off the edge
A stomach full of pills didn't work again
I put a bullet in my head
And I'm gone, gone, gone, gone
Gone too far, yeah I'm gone again
It's gone on too long, tell you how it ends
I'm sitting on the edge with my 2 best friends
One's a bottle of pills and one's a bottle of gin
I'm 20 stories up, yeah I'm up at the top
I'll polish off this bottle, now it's pushing me off
Asphalt to me has never looked so soft
I bet my momma found my letter, now she's calling the cops
I gotta take this oppurtunity before I miss it
'Cause now I hear the sirens and they're off in the distance
Believe me when I tell u that I've been persistent
'Cuz I'm more scarred, more scarred than my wrist is
I've been tryin' too long with too dull of a knife
But tonight I made sure that I sharpened it twice
I never bought a suit before in my life
But when you go to meet God, you know u wanna look nice
So if I survive then I'll see you tomorrow
Yeah I'll see you tomorrow
My legs are dangling off the edge
The bottom of the bottle is my only friend
I think I'll slit my wrists again
And I'm gone, gone, gone, gone
My legs are dangling off the edge
A stomach full of pills didn't work again
I put a bullet in my head
And I'm gone, gone, gone, gone
We hit the sky, there goes the light
No more sun, why's it always night?
When u can't sleep well, you can't dream
When u can't dream well, what's life mean?
We feel a little pity but don't emphathize
The old are getting older, watch a young man die
A mother and a son and someone ya know
Smile at each other and realize you don't
You don't know what happened to that kid u raised
What happened to the father, who swore he'd stay?
I didn't know 'cuz you didn't say
Now Momma feels guilt, now Momma feels pain,
When you were young, you never thought you'd die
Found that you could but too scared to try,
You looked in the mirror and you said goodbye,
Climbed up the roof to see if u could fly
So if I survive then I'll see u tomorrow
Yeah I'll see u tomorrow
My legs are dangling off the edge
The bottom of the bottle is my only friend
I think I'll slit my wrists again
And I'm gone, gone, gone, gone
My legs are dangling off the edge
A stomach full of pills didn't work again
I put a bullet in my head
And I'm gone, gone, gone, gone
I wish that I could fly
Way up in the sky
Like a bird so high
Oh I might just try
I wish that I could fly
Way up in the sky
Like a bird so high
Oh I might just try
Oh I might just try
