This is what I'd say if I Had the chance to say goodbye To anyone I've caused an inconvenience I'm sorry for the way I am The way you'll never understand Without me, you'll have more air you can breathe in I'm out of breath, and time to spend on making myself choose Between this wasted life of mine and what's best for you What right do I have to take for granted Something I never wanted? Have you ever wished that you Could end the pain that you went through But didn't have it in you to complete it? I'm sorry that I'll never be That person in your memory Someone you could trust and you believed in I'm out of breath and ground to stand as I try to carry on For once I thought I could be strong, but it turns out, I was wrong

Alive 02:45
You have your scars You wore your losses down your arms To mark your time alone But here's my heart It's yours to rip and tear apart And guide your way back home I've spent years wishing I could be someone else Now all I want is to be by your side I need you even more than I hate myself You're the only thing keeping me alive I always thought They'd all be better with me gone If I'd just follow through Then I met you Now I cling to everything you do You kept me hanging on

Alone 02:50
When was the last time That someone asked if I If I was doing fine Or how I've been lately? But still I know How the story goes I'm better off alone I've never answered honestly And the truth is this I'm just a waste of space I know I'm just a face no one would miss So many days, so many nights I've spent Wondering if I could replace Voices with silence in my mind I can't pretend that everything will be alright The whitest lie we tell ourselves to get through life This is the last time That I will try to find To find a spark inside Or burn myself completely But still I know How the story goes It's hard to hold your own While wearing your heart on your sleeve When was the last time That someone asked if I If I was doing fine?

Six Feet Over (free) 03:24
Held my breath, but I'm still empty handed Tying my own noose There's a thread for every second chance that I wasted on you The first step to truth is denial The next step is right off the edge I'll take the fall for you I'll take the fall just like I always do Tipped the chair and then you left me hanging High and dry, but I knew This noose I wear is such a good display Another plan to fall through I just hope you know The last thing on my mind Was how you let me Down one last time Here lies what's left of the waste of a life That just never could quite get it right It's funny how much people care when you die When inside you were never alive
