Normally, I don't post my lyrics on UG. Or anywhere for that matter. But I feel that this song has meaning to it and I feel like I can help one person. The song doesn't have a title, so if anybody has suggestions, I'm OK with that. And give me some suggestions on how to improve it. But please treat it with respect. Don't go knocking "emo" people, who the song is about. It's meant to be a positive, encouraging song, so don't be a negative person about it. Thanks.
Verse 1
Daddy put the bottle to his head and pulled the trigger
Mama can't remember when he started drinking liqueur
You are having trouble with constant thoughts of suicide
The only will remaining is the will you have to die
Chorus 1
You live life like it's a trigger, and if your problem's don't pass
You will end your problems quicker, and now you're giving up so fast
You drink from the bottom of the bottle; you make your own liqueur last
Because it's easier to swallow when you drown pain from the past
Verse 2
Your brother's up and left now; he can't take you anymore
Your best friends left you all alone in their pursuit for something more
Your best friend is now your whiskey, and when that night you go to bed
You pray that when you wake up, you will wake up dead
Chorus 2
In an act of desperation you asked God into your life
And you downed the last bit of whiskey, and it ended all your strife
But in your death you were breathing, and that's when you realized
That the only life worth living is the one where you're alive
Drink from the bottom of the bottle of love, peace and joyful laugh
Because life's easier to swallow when living is no longer just a fad
Because in our death we're still breathing and that's when we realized
That the only life worth living is the one where we're alive
Bridge
In this life just keep on breathing, because suicide's a lie
The mistake people make is assuming suicide means we die
When you cry on our shoulders, we will also cry
And God weeps when you're weeping; please don't make us say goodbye
Chorus 3
In an act of desperation you asked God into your life
And you downed the last bit of whiskey, and it ended all your strife
But in your death you were breathing, and that's when you realized
That the only life worth living is the one where you're alive
