My legs are dangling off the edge,
A stomach full of pills
Didn't work again,
I'll put a bullet in my head
And I'm gone, gone, gone, gone.
Gone to far, yea I'm gone again
It's gone on too long tell you how it ends
I'm sittin' on the edge with my two best friends
One's a bottle of pills and one's a bottle of gin
I'm twenty stories up, yea up at the top
I polished off this bottle
Now it's pushin' me off
Asphalt to me has never looked so soft
I bet my mama found my letter
Now she's callin' the cops
I gotta take this opportunity before I miss it
'Cause now I hear the sirens
And they're off in the distance
Believe me when I tell you that I've been persistent
Cause 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 make sure that I sharpen it twice
I never bought a suit before in my life
But when you go to meet god
You know you want to look nice
Hey soul sister, ain't that mister mister on the radio, stereo
The way you move ain't fair you know
Hey soul sister, I don't wanna miss a single thing you do tonight
My legs are dangling off the edge
The bottom of the bottle is my only friend
I think I'll slit my wrist again
And I'm gone, gone, gone, gone.
My legs are dangling off the edge
My stomach filled with 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 is it always night
When you can't, sleep well you can't dream
When you can't dream, well what's life mean
We feel a little pitty but don't empathize
The old are getting older watch a young man die
A mother in the sun and someone you know
Smile at eachother and realize you don't
You don't know what happened to that kid you raised
What happened to the father, who swore he'd stay
I didn't know, 'cause you didn't say
Now mama feels guilt and mama feels pain
When you were young and never thought you'd die
Found out you could but too scared to try
Looked in the mirror and you said goodbye
Climbed to the roof to see if you could fly
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,
Hey soul sister, ain't that mister mister on the radio, stereo
The way you move ain't fair you know
Hey soul sister, I don't wanna miss a single thing you do tonight
The way you can cut a rug
Watching you is the only drug I need
So gangster, I'm so thug
You're the only one I'm dreaming of
You see I can be myself now finally
In fact there's nothing I can't be
I want the world to see you'll be with me
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,
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 wrist again
And I'm gone, gone, gone, gone.
My legs are dangling off the edge
My stomach filled with pills didn't work again
I put a bullet in my head
And I'm gone, gone, gone, gone.
