lyrics

Light another cigarette to burn me through this loneliness
A glass of wine, to pass the time
Don't look at me like it's a crime
Not quite sure the shape I'm in
Some days, feels like I'm wearing thin
My demons have come back again
They're laughing at me

And if I should die today, please tell my mother I'll be okay
And tell my father just how much it meant that he was proud of me
And if you'll understand, it's not the ending I had planned
Always thought I'd win the race and be somebody

Afternoons and coffee spoons
Just waiting here for something new
So caught up in this carnival and all its pretty games
So roll the dice and pray to God it doesn't turn against me
Please pass me by, pick someone else
I promise I will never tell

And if I die today, please tell my mother I'll be okay
And tell my father just how much it meant that he was proud of me
And if you'll understand, it's not the ending I had planned
Always thought I'd win the race and be somebody

Can't be more than what we are
Maybe this time, I've gone too far
No turning 'round, no coming back,
Just you and me so silent
We are chasing all the things
That we can never have
And sometimes it just breaks your heart
To recognize you're drowning
In the sweetest lie

And if I die today, please tell my mother I'll be okay
And tell my father just how much it meant that he was proud of me
And if you'll understand, it's not the ending I had planned
Always thought I'd win the race and be somebody
