Hey Put down the razor blade Before the cuts get worse And you end up in some hearse Your skin It can only take so much Yeah, I think it's bled enough It's time that you let up, whoa Don't kill yourself Just to find a way to cure the pain Yeah, I know it's hell I know it's hard for you to find your way Just try to trust me when I say You're gonna be okay Stressed And I know that you're depressed But please untie this noose Before the screws come loose Your friends Yeah, I think they've lost enough They can only take so much I think it's time you all made up, whoa Don't kill yourself Just to find a way to cure the pain Yeah, I know it's hell I know it's hard for you to find your way Just try to trust me when I say You're gonna be okay You're gonna be okay Don't give up yet on your family and friends Yeah, you know they're gonna come through in the end Don't lose hope, you're not alone Don't kill yourself Just to find a way to cure the pain Yeah, I know it's hell I know it's hard for you to find your way Just try to trust me when I say Just try to trust me when I say Just try to trust me when I say You're gonna be okay

I fell asleep at the wheel When you said those things to me And now I'm stuck waiting For your light to turn green I didn't mean to go so slow In the passing lane It was an honest mistake I would have liked to drive you Anywhere your heart wanted us to go We could've laid back in the car Just staring at the stars Listening to the radio I see the wreck up ahead Lights are flashing blue and red And now I'm feeling nauseous And light in my head I hope that this ambulance is not for you Oh please this just can't be true I would have liked to drive you Anywhere your heart wanted us to go We could've laid back in the car Just staring at the stars Listening to the radio We could've drove all night Left all of this behind Nobody would've had to know We would just lay back in the car And stare up at the stars Listening to the radio Always say goodbye It might be the last time you do Always say goodbye It might be the last chance you get to I would have liked to drive you Anywhere your heart wanted us to go We could've laid back in the car Just staring at the stars Listening to the radio We could've drove all night Left all of this behind Nobody would've had to know We would just lay back in the car And stare up at the stars Listening to the radio

I'm not afraid of my shadow If you could call it something Call it ashamed The bones decay in my closet I would do anything To bury them today I have been weighed beside the gallows And if I've been found wanting I'm leaving the shade The fire burns in the meadows Your rain's the only thing That washes it away Don't give up on me Don't give up on me Don't give up on me Don't give up on me Don't give up on me Don't give up on me

There's not a thing that I wouldn't trade To see each of my loved ones all make the grade I'd help them succeed in places that I've failed And watch them cross the seas that I've sailed Because it's a gift just to be alive To wake up every day and to see the sun rise So if this is the moment it's all gonna change Then let this be my coming of age As time stands still and life blows right by I wasn't told I had to make a difference I was only told to try Won't let this fire in me ever burn out My desire to be something more than self doubt I still want to do amazing things with my life Right now I'm just a step behind It's not a question of what should I do It's a matter of why haven't I already begun So if this is my harvest or season of shame Then let this be my coming of age As time stands still and life blows right by I wasn't told I had to make a difference I was only told to try This is my cross to bear It's no burden that I'd ever share I wasn't told I had to make a difference I was only told to try It was so icy cold that fateful morning You all should have listened to their warnings He did everything he could in his power to survive He flew that ship without it's wings all the way down Yeah they were alive, whoa As time stands still and life blows right by I wasn't told I had to make a difference I was only told to try This is my cross to bear It's no burden that I'd ever share I wasn't told I had to make a difference I was only told to try
